Jeremiah 30:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

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 honoured, 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.
