18. Thus says the Lord: I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tentsand have mercy on his dwelling places;and the city will be built upon her own heap,and the palace will remain on its rightful place.
19. Out of them will proceed thanksgivingand the voice of those who make merry;and I will multiply them,and they will not be few.I will also glorify them,and they will not be small.
20. Their children also will be as before,and their congregation will be established before Me;and I will punish all who oppress them.
21. Their leader shall be one of them,and their ruler shall proceed from their midst;and I will cause him to draw near and he will approach Me;for who is this that daresto approach Me?says the Lord.
22. You shall be My people,and I will be your God.
23. Look, the whirlwind of the Lordgoes forth with fury,a continuing whirlwind;it will fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24. The fierce anger of the Lord shall not returnuntil He has done itand until He has performed the intentions of His heart.In the latter daysyou will understand it.
