Jeremiah 30:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸     I, the Eternal, have this to say: Look, I will bring back those from captivity.
        I will show mercy to Jacob’s tents and dwellings;
    From the ruins I will rebuild Jerusalem,
        and the palace will once again stand where it belongs.
¹⁹     Songs of joy and gratitude will rise from the people.
        I will bless My people and increase their numbers; nothing will diminish them.
    I will honor them in the presence of others;
        no one will despise them.
²⁰     Their children will live as they did long ago,
        their community will be established again before My watchful eyes,
    And I will punish anyone who tries to harm them.
