    and heal your wounds,”

‘“I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents
    and have compassion on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt on her ruins,
    and the palace will stand in its proper place.
19 From them will come songs of thanksgiving

    and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honour,
    and they will not be disdained.
