18  “Thus says the Lord:

Behold, ^mI will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob

and have compassion on his dwellings;

the city shall be rebuilt on ⁿits mound,

and the palace shall stand where it used to be.

19  ^oOut of them shall come songs of thanksgiving,

and the voices of those who celebrate.

^pI will multiply them, and they shall not be few;

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