They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant with joy because of the LORD’s goodness, because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil, and because of the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer grow weak from hunger.Then the young women will rejoice with dancing, while young and old men rejoice together.

This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’”

The women and children also celebrated, and Jerusalem’s rejoicing was heard far away.On that same day men were placed in charge of the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tenths. The legally required portions for the priests and Levites were gathered from the village fields, because Judah was grateful to the priests and Levites who were serving.They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were heads of the singers and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

And the sound was heard far away.

He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will be quiet in his love. He will delight in you with singing.”I will gather those who have been driven from the appointed festivals; they will be a tribute from you and a reproach on her.Yes, at that time I will deal with all who oppress you. I will save the lame and gather the outcasts; I will make those who were disgraced throughout the earth receive praise and fame.At that time I will bring you back, yes, at the time I will gather you. I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes. The LORD has spoken.
