17 But I will restore you to health

and heal your wounds,’

declares the Lord,

‘because you are called an outcast,

Zion for whom no one cares.’

18 “This is what the Lord says:

“ ‘I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents

and have compassion on his dwellings;

the city will be rebuilt on her ruins,

and the palace will stand in its proper place.

19 From them will come songs of thanksgiving

and the sound of rejoicing.

I will add to their numbers,

and they will not be decreased;

I will bring them honor,

and they will not be disdained.

20 Their children will be as in days of old,

and their community will be established before me;

I will punish all who oppress them.

17 For I will restore health to you,

and your wounds I will heal,

declares the Lord,

because they have called you an outcast:

‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’

18 “Thus says the Lord:

Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob

and have compassion on his dwellings;

the city shall be rebuilt on its mound,

and the palace shall stand where it used to be.

19 Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving,

and the voices of those who celebrate.

I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;

I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.

20 Their children shall be as they were of old,

and their congregation shall be established before me,

and I will punish all who oppress them.

17 For I will restore health unto thee,

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

Because they called thee an Outcast, saying,

This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

18 Thus saith the Lord;

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

And have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and

The city shall be builded upon her own heap,

And the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

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

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

I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

20 Their children also shall be as aforetime,

And their congregation shall be established before me,

And I will punish all that oppress them.

17 I will give you back your health

and heal your wounds,” says the Lord.

“For you are called an outcast—

‘Jerusalem for whom no one cares.’ ”

18 This is what the Lord says:

“When I bring Israel home again from captivity

and restore their fortunes,

Jerusalem will be rebuilt on its ruins,

and the palace reconstructed as before.

19 There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving,

and I will multiply my people, not diminish them;

I will honor them, not despise them.

20 Their children will prosper as they did long ago.

I will establish them as a nation before me,

and I will punish anyone who hurts them.

17 I will bring back your health

and heal your injuries,” says the Lord,

“because other people forced you away.

They said about you, ‘No one cares about Jerusalem!’ ”

18 This is what the Lord said:

“I will soon make the tents of Jacob’s people as they used to be,

and I will have pity on Israel’s houses.

The city will be rebuilt on its hill of ruins,

and the king’s palace will stand in its proper place.

19 People in those places will sing songs of praise.

There will be the sound of laughter.

I will give them many children

so their number will not be small.

I will bring honor to them

so no one will look down on them.

20 Their descendants will be as they were in the old days.

I will set them up as a strong people before me,

and I will punish the nations who have hurt them.

17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; because they have called thee an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

18 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner. 19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them.

17 For I will apply a bandage unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; for they have called thee an outcast: This is Zion that no man seeketh after.

18 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his habitations; and the city shall be built upon her own heap; and the palace shall be inhabited after the manner thereof. 19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; and I will honour them, and they shall not be small. 20 And their sons shall be as aforetime; and their assembly shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them.

17 I’ll restore your health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord. 

“People call you an outcast: 

Zion, no one cares for you. 

18 “This is what the Lord says: 

I’m going to bring the captives back to Jacob’s tents 

and show compassion on their homes. 

Cities will be built on the ruins, 

and fortified palaces will be built in their rightful place. 

19 The people who live there will sing songs of praise, 

and the sound of laughter will be heard from there. 

I’ll make them numerous, and their number won’t decrease. 

I’ll bring them honor, and they won’t be considered unimportant. 

20 Their children will be like they were long ago. 

Their community will be established in my presence, 

and I will punish everyone who oppresses them. 

17 But I will bring you health

and will heal you of your wounds—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

for they call you Outcast,

Zion whom no one cares about.

18 This is what the Lord says:

I will certainly restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents

and show compassion

Every city will be rebuilt on its mound;

every citadel will stand on its proper site.

19 Thanksgiving will come out of them,

a sound of celebration.

I will multiply them, and they will not decrease;

I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant.

20 His children will be as in past days;

his congregation will be established in My presence.

I will punish all his oppressors.

17 For I will restore health to you,

and your wounds I will heal,

says the Lord,

because they have called you an outcast:

“It is Zion; no one cares for her!”

18 Thus says the Lord:

I am going to restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob,

and have compassion on his dwellings;

the city shall be rebuilt upon its mound,

and the citadel set on its rightful site.

19 Out of them shall come thanksgiving,

and the sound of merrymakers.

I will make them many, and they shall not be few;

I will make them honored, and they shall not be disdained.

20 Their children shall be as of old,

their congregation shall be established before me;

and I will punish all who oppress them.

17 For I will present healing to you,

and I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh.

‘Because they have called you an outcast, saying,

“It is Zion, there is no one who cares for her.” ’

18 Thus says Yahweh:

‘Look, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob,

and I will have compassion on his dwellings,

and the city will be rebuilt upon its mound,

and the citadel fortress will stand on its rightful site.

19 And thanksgiving and the sound of merrymakers

will come out from them,

and I will make them numerous,

and they will not be few.

And I will make them honored,

and they will not be lowly.

20 And their children will be as of old,

and their community will be established before me.

And I will punish all their oppressors.

17 But I will make you healthy again.

I will heal your wounds,”

announces the Lord.

“That is because you have been thrown out.

You are called Zion, the one no one cares about.”

18 The Lord says,

“I will bless Jacob’s people with great success again.

I will show tender love to Israel.

Jerusalem will be rebuilt where it was destroyed.

The palace will stand in its proper place.

19 From those places the songs of people giving thanks will be heard.

The sound of great joy will come from there.

I will increase the numbers of my people.

Their numbers will not become smaller.

I will bring them honor.

People will have respect for them.

20 Things will be as they used to be for Jacob’s people.

I will make their community firm and secure.

I will punish everyone who treats them badly.

17 ‘For I will restore you to health

And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,

‘Because they have called you an outcast, saying:

“It is Zion; no one cares for her.” ’

18 “Thus says the Lord,

‘Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob

And have compassion on his dwelling places;

And the city will be rebuilt on its ruin,

And the palace will stand on its rightful place.

19 ‘From them will proceed thanksgiving

And the voice of those who celebrate;

And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished;

I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant.

20 ‘Their children also will be as formerly,

And their congregation shall be established before Me;

And I will punish all their oppressors.
