19     Keep watching! At the right time,
        I will deal with those who assaulted you.
    I will steady those who are lame and about to fall;
        I will gather those who are outcasts and oppressed.
    Instead of being filled with shame as they always have been,
        I will fill them with praise and make them famous over all the world.
20     On that day, I will gather all of you together for one big homecoming.
        I will make you famous, and all the world will sing your praises.
    Right before your eyes, I will restore to you all that you have lost,
        and your lives will be full again.

So says the Eternal One.

19 At that time I will deal
    with all who oppressed(A) you.
I will rescue the lame;
    I will gather the exiles.(B)
I will give them praise(C) and honor
    in every land where they have suffered shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
    at that time I will bring(D) you home.
I will give you honor(E) and praise(F)
    among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes[a](G)
    before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.
