16 But I will destroy your enemies who destroyed you.
    All of them will go as prisoners to foreign lands.
They took your valuable things for themselves.
    Now I will take away their valuable things.

    But I will give you back your health.
    I will make your wounds better.’

18 The Lord says,

‘I will bring back Jacob's descendants to their own land.
Enemies have knocked down their houses,

I will be kind to them,
    so that each family can live safely.
The city will stand again in its right place.
    The palace will also stand where it was before.
