18 Thus says the Lord:
I am going to restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
    and have compassion on his dwellings;
the city shall be rebuilt upon its mound
    and the citadel set on its rightful site.(A)
19 Out of them shall come thanksgiving
    and the sound of merrymakers.
I will make them many, and they shall not be few;
    I will make them honored, and they shall not be disdained.(B)
20 Their children shall be as of old;
    their congregation shall be established before me,
    and I will punish all who oppress them.

I will add to their numbers,(H)
    and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,(I)
    and they will not be disdained.

    and their community will be established(K) before me;
    I will punish(L) all who oppress them.
