Jeremiah 30:18-20

New International Reader's Version

“I will bless Jacob’s people with great success again.
    I will show tender love to Israel.
Jerusalem will be rebuilt where it was destroyed.
    The palace will stand in its proper place.
¹⁹ From those places the songs of people giving thanks will be heard.
    The sound of great joy will come from there.
I will cause there to be more of my people.
    There will not be fewer of them.
I will bring them honor.
    People will have respect for them.
²⁰ Things will be as they used to be for Jacob’s people.
    I will make their community firm and secure.
    I will punish everyone who treats them badly.
