You and your descendants
will take over the land
    of other nations.
You will settle in towns
    that are now in ruins.

Don't be afraid or ashamed
and don't be discouraged.
    You won't be disappointed.
Forget how sinful you were
    when you were young;

the Holy God of Israel,
    rules all the earth.
He is your Creator and husband,
    and he will rescue you.
