Jeremiah 30:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ The people who live there will sing songs of praise,
and the sound of laughter will be heard from there.
I’ll make them numerous, and their number won’t decrease.
I’ll bring them honor, and they won’t be considered unimportant.
²⁰ Their children will be like they were long ago.
Their community will be established in my presence,
and I will punish everyone who oppresses them.
²¹ Their leader will be someone from their own people.
Their ruler will come from among them.
I’ll bring him near, and he will come close to me.
Who would dare to come near me?” asks the Lord.
