As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters will be restored to their former status, Samaria and her daughters will be restored to their former status, and you and your daughters will be restored to your former status.

May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up,

Is this really your boisterous city whose origins are in the distant past, and whose feet led her to a distant land to reside?

I will increase the number of people and animals on you; they will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as in ancient times, and will do more good for you than at the beginning of your history. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
