18. Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. 19. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 20. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. 21. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who [is] this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.

Theological / Devotional

Bring again the captivity. Verses 18-21 describe the prosperity that might have been Israel’s had the people accepted their divine destiny and loyally carried out the mission assigned them by Heaven (see pp. 31,32). For the church of God (see pp. 35, 36) these verses predict ultimate deliverance from this present evil world (see PK 538).
