18 “Thus says the Lord:
Behold, (A)I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
    and have compassion on his dwellings;
the city shall be rebuilt on (B)its mound,
    and the palace shall stand where it used to be.
19 (C)Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving,
    and the voices of those who celebrate.
(D)I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;
    I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.
20 (E)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.
