Jeremiah 30:18-19. Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. 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.
Well might the Lord introduce such a promise as this with the word, "Behold." Again I remind you that these are the people who had their hands on their loins; these are they who were in sore trouble of soul, yet now they are merry, and full of gladness; and we also have learned to sing,-
My mourning he to dancing turns,
For sackcloth, joy he gives,
A moment, Lord, thine anger burns,
But long thy favor lives.
