20Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.
21Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?” declares the LORD.
