Israel Will Return Home

18 “I will gather those among you who are troubled because of the festivals.
    They bear a burden of disgrace.
19 At that time
    I will deal with all who have overpowered you.
    I will rescue those who are lame.
    I will gather those who have been scattered.
    I will make them praised and famous in all the world,
        though they had been ashamed.
20 At that time I will bring you home.
    Yes, at that time I will gather you together.
    I will make you famous and praised among all the people of the earth
    when I restore your fortunes right before your eyes,” says Yahweh.

18 “I will remove from you
    all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,
    which is a burden and reproach for you.
19 At that time I will deal
    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.
