Thanksgiving will proceed from them
The Hebrew word for "thanksgiving" is "תּוֹדָה" (todah), which signifies a confession or praise, often in the context of worship. This phrase indicates a future transformation for the people of Israel, where their hearts will be filled with gratitude. Historically, this reflects a time of restoration after the Babylonian exile, where the Israelites will return to their land and worship God with renewed fervor. The act of thanksgiving is not just a ritual but a profound expression of acknowledgment of God's mercy and faithfulness.

a voice of celebration
The "voice of celebration" suggests a communal expression of joy and festivity. In Hebrew, "קוֹל" (qol) means "voice" or "sound," and it often denotes a loud, public proclamation. This phrase paints a picture of a vibrant community rejoicing together, reminiscent of the joyful sounds during the feasts and festivals in ancient Israel. It signifies a time when sorrow and mourning are replaced by joy and gladness, a theme consistent with the prophetic vision of restoration and hope.

I will multiply them
The promise "I will multiply them" echoes the Abrahamic covenant, where God promised to make Abraham's descendants as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5). The Hebrew root "רָבָה" (ravah) means "to increase" or "to become many." This multiplication is not merely numerical but also spiritual, indicating a flourishing community blessed by God. It reassures the Israelites of God's continued faithfulness to His covenant promises, even after periods of judgment and exile.

and they will not be decreased
The phrase "they will not be decreased" uses the Hebrew root "מָעַט" (ma'at), meaning "to diminish" or "to become few." This is a divine assurance against decline or reduction, contrasting the previous experiences of loss and exile. It emphasizes God's protective and sustaining power over His people, ensuring their growth and stability. Historically, this would have been a comforting promise to a people who had faced significant population loss due to war and captivity.

I will honor them
The word "honor" in Hebrew is "כָּבֵד" (kaved), which means "to be heavy" or "to give weight," often used metaphorically to convey respect or glory. This promise of honor signifies a reversal of the shame and humiliation experienced by the Israelites during their exile. It reflects God's intention to restore their dignity and status among the nations, highlighting His redemptive power and grace.

and they will not be belittled
The term "belittled" comes from the Hebrew "קָטַן" (katan), meaning "to be small" or "to be insignificant." This assurance is a direct counter to the scorn and derision faced by the Israelites from surrounding nations. It underscores God's commitment to elevate His people, ensuring they are respected and valued. This promise of not being belittled is a testament to God's justice and His desire to vindicate His people, restoring their rightful place as His chosen nation.

Verse 19. - (Comp. this verse with Jeremiah 33:11.) Out of them; i.e. out of city and palace. They shall not be few; rather, not be diminished. They shall not be small; rather, not be lightly regarded.
