7 mI will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, nand rebuild them as they were oat first. 8 pI will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, qand I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me. 9 rAnd this city
Hebrew  And it
shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall tfear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it.

10Thus says the Lord: In this place uof which you say, ‘It is a waste without man or beast,’ in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man or inhabitant or beast, there shall be heard again 11 vthe voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who sing, as they bring wthank offerings to the house of the Lord:

x“‘Give thanks to the Lord of hosts,
for the Lord is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!’
yFor I will restore the fortunes of the land as at first, says the Lord.

12Thus says the Lord of hosts: zIn this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be aahabitations of shepherds abresting their flocks. 13 acIn the cities of the hill country, adin the cities of the Shephelah, aeand in the cities of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin, afthe places about Jerusalem, agand in the cities of Judah, ahflocks shall again pass under the hands aiof the one who counts them, says the Lord.
