Many verses about God restoring the fortunes of Israel. Once upon a time Israel was exiled and lead back home by Moses. Later there was a Jewish diaspora cause by the Romans. Well God using the Romans.
In reading about the restoration of fortunes in Zephaniah it is also interpreted as "reverse your captivity" or "reverse your fate."
19 "Behold, I am going to deal at that time With all your oppressors, I will save the lame And gather the outcast, And I will turn their shame into praise and renown In all the earth. 20 "At that time I will bring you in, Even at the time when I gather you together; Indeed, I will give you renown and praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I restore your fortunes before your eyes," Says the LORD.
In this account the restoration of fortunes happens after the destruction of other nations and after the removal of Jerusalem's bad inhabitants. I'm wondering if other scriptural accounts or a restoration are also at this same time or of the same event?
