Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
