18     as on festival days.

I will remove disaster from among you,
    so that no one may recount your disgrace.
19 At that time I will deal
    with all who oppress you;
I will save the lame,
    and assemble the outcasts;
I will give them praise and renown
    in every land where they were shamed.(A)
20 At that time I will bring you home,
    and at that time I will gather you;
For I will give you renown and praise,
    among all the peoples of the earth,
When I bring about your restoration
    before your very eyes, says the Lord.(B)

    all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,

    with all who oppressed(A) you.
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.
20 At that time I will gather you;
    at that time I will bring(D) you home.
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,”
says the Lord.
