ACV(i)
17 For I will restore health to thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, says LORD, because they have called thee an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
18 Thus says LORD: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places. And the city shall be built upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few. I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Their sons also shall be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me. And I will punish all who oppress them.
21 And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me. For who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says LORD.
22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
