Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
Their children will be like they were in the good old days, and their community will be strong and secure in my presence, and I will punish anyone who mistreats them.
God is promising that His people's families and community will be restored to their former strength, and He will protect them from their enemies.
