The people who live there will sing praise; they will shout for joy. By my blessing they will increase in numbers; my blessing will bring them honor.

I am on your side, and I will make sure that your land is plowed again and crops are planted on it.

I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called "Unloved," and to those who were called "Not-My-People" I will say, "You are my people," and they will answer, "You are our God."

Though I have scattered them among the nations, yet in far-off places they will remember me. They and their children will survive and return home together.
