Jeremiah 30:17-22
1599 Geneva Bible
17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord, because they called thee, The castaway, 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 compassion on his dwelling places, and the city shall be built upon her own heap, [a]and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed [b]thanksgiving, and the voice of them that are joyous, and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few: I will also glorify them, and they shall not be diminished.
20 Their children also shall be as afore time, and their congregation shall be established before me: and I will visit all that vex them.
21 And their [c]noble ruler shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them, and I will cause him to draw near and approach unto me: for who is this that directeth his [d]heart to come unto me, saith the Lord?
22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
