They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
For we are bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Paras, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the ruins of it, and to give us a wall in Yehudah and in Yerushalayim.
Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
*Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of Armies: *My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Tziyon, and will again choose Yerushalayim.*'*
