A Promise of Full Restoration
God promises a complete and tangible restoration. Commentators explain this includes the rebuilding of personal homes ('tents' and 'dwelling-places'), the capital city ('builded upon its own hill'), and centers of authority ('the palace'). This was a promise of a return to normalcy, stability, and national dignity after the devastation of exile.
