16‘Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;
         And all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity;
         And those who plunder you will be for plunder,
         And all who prey upon you I will give for prey.

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.”’

Restoration of Jacob

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.

21‘Their leader shall be one of them,
         And their ruler shall come forth from their midst;
         And I will bring him near and he shall approach Me;
         For who would dare to risk his life to approach Me?’ declares the LORD.

22‘You shall be My people,
         And I will be your God.’”

23Behold, the tempest of the LORD!
         Wrath has gone forth,
         A sweeping tempest;
         It will burst on the head of the wicked.

24The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back
         Until He has performed and until He has accomplished
         The intent of His heart;
         In the latter days you will understand this.
