17 I will bring back your health
    and heal your injuries,” says the Lord,
“because other people forced you away.
    They said about you, ‘No one cares about Jerusalem!’”

18 This is what the Lord said:

“I will soon make the tents of Jacob’s people as they used to be,
    and I will have pity on Israel’s houses.
The city will be rebuilt on its hill of ruins,
    and the king’s palace will stand in its proper place.
19 People in those places will sing songs of praise.
    There will be the sound of laughter.
I will give them many children
    so their number will not be small.
I will bring honor to them
    so no one will look down on them.
