¹⁴ I will be found by you, declares the Lord, ^(A)and I will restore your fortunes and ^(B)gather you from all the nations and all the places ^(C)where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

^37 (A)Behold, I will gather them from all the countries ^(B)to which I drove them in ^(C)my anger and my wrath and in great indignation. I will bring them back to this place, ^(D)and I will make them dwell in safety.

³ then the Lord your God ^(A)will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you, and he will ^(B)gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.

^34 (A)I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.

⁴¹ As a pleasing aroma I will accept you, when ^(A)I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered. And ^(B)I will manifest my holiness among you in the sight of the nations.

²¹ then say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, ^(A)I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and ^(B)bring them to their own land.

The Lord God Will Seek Them Out

¹¹ “For thus says the Lord God: ^(A)Behold, I, I ^(B)myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. ¹² As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on ^(C)a day of clouds and ^(D)thick darkness. ¹³ And I will bring them out from the peoples ^(E)and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on ^(F)the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. ^14 (G)I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. ^(H)There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. ^15 (I)I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, ^(J)and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God. ^16 (K)I will seek the lost, ^(L)and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and ^(M)the fat and the strong I will destroy.^[a] I will feed them in justice.
