18 I will gather those who grieve
    for the appointed festival,
    which is a reproach and burden on you.
19 At that time I will deal
    with all who oppress you;
I will save the lame
    and gather the outcast;
I will give them praise and fame
    in every land where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time I will bring you in,
    at the time when I gather you;
for I will make you renowned and praised
    among all peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes
    before your eyes,
    says the Lord.

I will rescue the lame;
    I will gather the exiles.(B)
I will give them praise(C) and honor
    in every land where they have suffered shame.

I will give you honor(E) and praise(F)
    among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes[a](G)
    before your very eyes,”
