10 “Nations, listen to the ·message from [L word of] the Lord.
    Tell this message in the faraway ·lands by the sea [coastlands]:
‘The one who scattered the people of Israel will ·bring them back [gather them],
    and he will ·watch over [keep; guard] his people like a shepherd of a flock. [Num. 27:17; 2 Sam. 7:7; Ps. 78:70–72; Ezek. 34].’
11 The Lord will ·pay for [ransom] the people of Jacob
    and will ·buy them back [redeem them] from ·people [L a hand/power] stronger than they were.
12 They [C people of Israel] will come to the high points of Jerusalem
    and shout for joy.
·Their faces will shine with happiness [L They will be radiant] about all the good things from the Lord:
    the grain, new wine, oil, young sheep, and young cows.
They will be like a garden that has plenty of water,
    and they will not ·be troubled [languish] anymore.
