16 Therefore all who (A)devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, (B)will go into captivity;
And those who plunder you will become plunder,
And all who plunder you I will turn into plunder.
17 For I will [a]restore you to [b](C)health
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,
‘Because they have called you an (D)outcast, saying:
“It is Zion; no one [c]cares for her.”’

Restoration of Jacob

‘Behold, I will (E)restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And (F)have compassion on his dwellings;
And the (G)city will be rebuilt on its ruins,
And the (H)palace will stand on its rightful place.
