17 For I will restore health to you,
    and I will heal you of your wounds,
    says the Lord,
because they called you an outcast, saying,
    “This is Zion whom no man cares for.”

18 Thus says the Lord:

I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents
    and have mercy on his dwelling places;
and the city will be built upon her own heap,
    and the palace will remain on its rightful place.
19 Out of them will proceed thanksgiving
    and the voice of those who make merry;
and I will multiply them,
    and they will not be few.
I will also glorify them,
    and they will not be small.
