23. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: When I restore their fortunes in the land of Judah and in its cities, they shall again use this greeting: “May the Lord bless you, Tent of Justice, Holy Mountain!”
24. Judah and all its cities, the farmers and those who lead the flock shall dwell there together.
25. For I will slake the thirst of the faint; the appetite of all the weary I will satisfy.
26. At this I awoke and opened my eyes; my sleep was satisfying.
27. See, days are coming—oracle of the Lord—when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of human beings and the seed of animals.
28. As I once watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, to destroy, and to harm, so I will watch over them to build and to plant—oracle of the Lord.
