17  For oI will restore health unto thee,

And pI will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord;

Because they called thee qan Outcast, saying,

This is Zion, rwhom no man seeketh after.

18  Thus saith the Lord;

Behold, sI will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents,

And thave mercy on his dwellingplaces; and

The city shall be builded upon her own ||uheap,

And the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

19  And out of them shall proceed vthanksgiving and the voice of wthem that make merry:

And wI will multiply them, and they shall not be few;

I will also xyglorify them, and ythey shall not be small.

20  Their children also shall be zas aforetime,

And their congregation shall be established before me,

And I will punish all that oppress them.

21  And atheir nobles shall be of themselves,

And atheir governor shall proceed from the midst of them;

And I will bcause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me:

For cwho is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord.

22  And dye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
