And as I have watched over them, to pluck up and to throw down and to scatter and destroy and afflict: so will I watch over them, to build up and to plant them, saith the Lord.
And the Lord of hosts that planted thee hath pronounced evil against thee: for the evils of the house of Israel and the house of Juda which they have done to themselves, to provoke me, offering sacrifice to Baalim.

And I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel. Thou shalt again be adorned with thy timbrels and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I bring back the captivity of the pavilions of Jacob and will have pity on his houses, and the city shall be built in her high place, and the temple shall be found according to the order thereof.
