Restoration of Jacob

18
“Thus says the Lord,
‘Behold, I will (A)restore the (a)fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And (B)have compassion on his dwelling places;
And the (C)city will be rebuilt on its ruin,
And the (D)palace will stand on its rightful place.
19
‘From them will proceed (E)thanksgiving
And the voice of those who (b)(F)celebrate;
And I will (G)multiply them and they will not be diminished;
I will also (H)honor them and they will not be insignificant.
20
(c)Their children also will be as formerly,
And (d)their congregation shall be (I)established before Me;
And I will punish all (e)their oppressors.
21
(f)Their (J)leader shall be one of them,
And (g)their ruler shall come forth from (h)their midst;
And I will (K)bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For (i)who would dare to risk his life to (L)approach Me?’ declares the Lord.
22
‘You shall be (M)My people,
And I will be your God.’”
