¹⁹ From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained.

¹⁹ Thanksgivings will pour out of the windows; laughter will spill through the doors. Things will get better and better. Depression days are over. They'll thrive, they'll flourish. The days of contempt will be over.

¹⁹ There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people, not diminish them; I will honor them, not despise them.
