18 This is what the Lord said:

“I will 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 also be the sound of laughter.
I will give them many children.
    They will not be small.
I will bring honor to them.
    No one will look down on them.
20 Their descendants will be like they were in the old days.
    I will make their people strong before me.
And I will punish the nations who have hurt them.
