16 Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;
    and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity.
And those who plunder you will become plunder,
    and all who prey upon you I will give for prey.
17 For I will restore health to you,
    and I will heal you of your wounds,

    and have mercy on his dwelling places;
and the city will be built upon her own heap,
    and the palace will remain on its rightful place.
