Jeremiah 30:18-22 - Restoration Of The Land
18 This is what Jehovah says: I am 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. The sound of laughter will be heard from there. I will make them numerous, and their number will not decrease. I will bring them honor, and they will not 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. 21 Their leader will be someone from their own people. Their ruler will come from among them. I will bring him near, and he will come close to me. Who would dare to come near me? Declares Jehovah. 22 You will be my people, and I will be your God.
