10 “This is what the Lord says: In this place, which you say is a ruin,(A) without man or beast—that is, in Judah’s cities and Jerusalem’s streets that are a desolation without man, without inhabitant, and without beast—there will be heard again 11 a sound of joy and gladness, the voice of the groom and the bride,(B) and the voice of those saying,

Praise the Lord of Hosts,
for the Lord is good;
His faithful love endures forever


as they bring thank offerings to the temple of the Lord. For I will restore the fortunes(a) of the land as in former times, says the Lord.
