Who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, You shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built upon her own mound, and the palace shall remain according to its usual manner.
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall gather together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be like a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, to which I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those who despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
