Jeremiah 33:6-13
Yet I will certainly bring health and healing to it and will indeed heal them. I will let them experience the abundance of peace and truth.I will restore the fortunes of Judah and of Israel and will rebuild them as in former times.I will purify them from all the wrongs they have committed against Me, and I will forgive all the wrongs they have committed against Me, rebelling against Me.This city will bear on My behalf a name of joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I will do for them. They will tremble with awe because of all the good and all the peace I will bring about for them.“ This is what the Lord says: In this place, which you say is a ruin, without man or beast— that is, in Judah’s cities and Jerusalem’s streets that are a desolation without man, without inhabitant, and without beast— there will be heard againa sound of joy and gladness, the voice of the groom and the bride, and the voice of those saying, Praise the Lord of Hosts, for the Lord is good; His faithful love endures forever as they bring thank offerings to the temple of the Lord. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as in former times, says the Lord.“ This is what the Lord of Hosts says: In this desolate place— without man or beast— and in all its cities there will once more be a grazing land where shepherds may rest flocks.The flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who counts them in the cities of the hill country, the cities of the Judean foothills, the cities of the Negev, the land of Benjamin— the cities surrounding Jerusalem and Judah’s cities, says the Lord.

Psalms 106:40-47
Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.He handed them over to the nations; those who hated them ruled them.Their enemies oppressed them, and they were subdued under their power.He rescued them many times, but they continued to rebel deliberately and were beaten down by their sin.When He heard their cry, He took note of their distress,remembered His covenant with them, and relented according to the riches of His faithful love.He caused them to be pitied before all their captors.Save us, Yahweh our God, and gather us from the nations, so that we may give thanks to Your holy name and rejoice in Your praise.

Ezra 1:1-6
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, the word of the Lord spoken through Jeremiah was fulfilled. The Lord put it into the mind of King Cyrus to issue a proclamation throughout his entire kingdom and to put it in writing:This is what King Cyrus of Persia says:“ The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build Him a house at Jerusalem in Judah.Whoever is among His people, may his God be with him, and may he go to Jerusalem in Judah and build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem.Let every survivor, wherever he lives, be assisted by the men of that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, along with a freewill offering for the house of God in Jerusalem.”So the family leaders of Judah and Benjamin, along with the priests and Levites— everyone God had motivated— prepared to go up and rebuild the Lord’s house in Jerusalem.All their neighbors supported them with silver articles, gold, goods, livestock, and valuables, in addition to all that was given as a freewill offering.
