The LORD will reverse the captivity and restore the dwellings of Jacob. Mercy extends to the actual structures—tents and dwellingplaces—which will be rebuilt. The city will rise again from the rubble left by destruction, rebuilt upon its own ruins.
The restoration includes both the civic structures (city) and the royal center (palace), indicating comprehensive renewal of the political and social order. 'After the manner thereof' suggests restoration not to a diminished state but to former dignity.
