10 This is what the LORD {YHWH} says: In this place you⁺ say is a wasteland without man or beast, in the cities of Judah (praised) and in the streets of Jerusalem (city of peace) that are deserted—inhabited by neither man nor beast—there will be heard again 11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those bringing thank offerings into the house of the LORD {YHWH}, saying: ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good; His loving devotion endures forever.’ For I will restore the land from captivity (restore the fortunes of the land) as in former times, says the LORD. 12 This is what the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts says: In this desolate place, without man or beast, and in all its cities, there will once more be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks. 13 In the cities of the hill country, the foothills {Shephelah}, and the Negev (southland), in the land of Benjamin (son of the right hand) and the cities surrounding Jerusalem (city of peace), and in the cities of Judah (praised), the flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the LORD {YHWH}.
