17 For I will restore health to you,
    and I will heal you of your wounds,” says Yahweh;
“because they have called you an outcast,
    saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”

18 Yahweh says:

“Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents,
    and have compassion on his dwelling places.
The city will be built on its own hill,
    and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
19 Thanksgiving will proceed out of them
    with the voice of those who make merry.
I will multiply them,
    and they will not be few;
I will also glorify them,
    and they will not be small.
