18 “This is what Yahweh says:

I’m going to bring the captives back to Jacob’s tents
    and show compassion on their homes.
    Cities will be built on the ruins,
    and fortified palaces will be built in their rightful place.
19 The people who live there will sing songs of praise,
    and the sound of laughter will be heard from there.
    I’ll make them numerous, and their number won’t decrease.
    I’ll bring them honor, and they won’t be considered unimportant.
20 Their children will be like they were long ago.
    Their community will be established in my presence,
    and I will punish everyone who oppresses them.
