Jeremiah 30:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ There will be laughter
    and songs of thanks.
I will add to their numbers
    so they don’t dwindle away.
I will honor them
    so they aren’t humiliated.
²⁰ Their children will thrive as they did long ago,
    and their community will be established before me.
        I will punish their oppressors.
²¹ They will have their own leader;
    their ruler will come from among them.
I will let him approach me,
    and he will draw near.
Who would dare approach me
    unless I let them come?
        declares the Lord.
