The Happy City, with her Native Prince

18 Thus saith Jehovah:

The tents that were Jacob’s I yet will restore,

On the sites that were his I will show My compassion;

On her own proper mound shall the city be built,

And the place shall stand on its rightful site.

19 And out of them songs of praise shall float,

And the voices of them that make merry;

I will add to their numbers till many they be,

I will crown them with glory, and they shall be honoured.

20 Their children shall be as in days of old,

And their sacred assembly safe under My care;

I will punish all those that oppress them.

21 Their prince shall be one of themselves,

And their ruler shall come from among them.

I will let him draw nigh and approach Me,

For where is the man, saith Jehovah,

That else had the courage to face Me?

22 And ye shall be My people,

And I will be your God.
