²⁴ These also ^(A)who erred in spirit will come to understanding,
And those who complained will learn doctrine.”

¹¹ He will ^(A)feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.

¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and ^(A)will heal him;
I will also lead him,
And restore comforts to him
And to ^(B)his mourners.

¹¹ The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

⁸ Behold, I will bring them ^(A)from the north country,
And ^(B)gather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child
And the one who labors with child, together;
A great throng shall return there.
^9 (C)They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk ^(D)by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My ^(E)firstborn.

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the ^[a]Dayspring from on high ^[b]has visited us;
^79 (A)To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To ^(B)guide our feet into the way of peace.”
