Judah Will Be Restored

23 The Lord God of Israel who rules over all says,

“I will restore the people of Judah to their land and to their towns.

When I do, they will again say of Jerusalem,

‘May the Lord bless you, you holy mountain,

the place where righteousness dwells.’

24 The land of Judah will be inhabited by people who live in its towns

as well as by farmers and shepherds with their flocks.

25 I will fully satisfy the needs of those who are weary

and fully refresh the souls of those who are faint.

26 Then they will say, ‘Under these conditions I can enjoy sweet sleep

when I wake up and look around.’ ”
