20 It will be just like old times.Your nation will worship me,and I will punish anyonewho abuses you.
21 One of your own peoplewill become your ruler.And when I invite himto come near meat the place of worship,he will do so.No one would dare to come nearwithout being invited.
22 You will be my people,and I will be your God.I, the Lord, have spoken.
23 I am furious!And like a violent stormI will strike thosewho do wrong.
24 I won't calm downuntil I have finishedwhat I have decided to do.Someday, you will understandwhat I mean.
