¹⁹ In those places you will hear happy songs,
    as people thank God.
    People will laugh aloud because they are so happy.
I will make them grow in number.
    Their descendants will be many.
I will cause other nations to give them honour.
    They will no longer insult my people.
²⁰ Jacob's descendants will be strong again,
    as they were long ago.
They will serve me together as one group of people.
    I will punish anyone who wants to hurt them.
²¹ One of their own people will rule them as king.
I will ask him to come near to me,
    and he will come near.
Nobody would be brave enough to come near to me,
    unless I asked him to come.’
