¹⁸     like people at a party.
I will take away your shame.
    I will make them stop hurting you.^[a]
19 At that time I will punish those who hurt you.
    I will save my hurt people
    and bring back those who were forced to leave.
I will give them praise and honor everywhere,
    even in places where they suffered shame.
²⁰ At that time I will lead you back home.
    I will bring your people back together.

    You will see me bring back all the blessings you once had.”
