Isaiah 27:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ The great city will be empty; it will be like a desert. All the people will be gone—they will run away. The city will be like an open pasture. Young cattle will eat grass there. The cattle will eat leaves from the branches of the vines. ¹¹ The vines will become dry, and the branches will break off. Women will use them for firewood.

The people refuse to understand. So God, their Maker, will not comfort them or be kind to them.

¹² At that time the Lord will begin separating his people from others. He will begin at the Euphrates River and will gather his people from there^[a] to the River of Egypt.^[b]

You people of Israel will be gathered together one by one.
