The Lord says, “At that time,

I will bring back to me the crippled.
    I will bring back to Jerusalem those who were sent away.
    I will bring back to me those who were hurt.
I will keep alive those who were crippled.
    I will make a strong nation of those who were sent away.
The Lord will be their king in Mount Zion forever.
And you, watchtower of the flocks,[a] strong city of Jerusalem,
    you will be a kingdom as in the past.
    Jerusalem, the right to rule will come again to you.”
