Micah 7:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 On that day a people will come to you,
all the way from Assyria and from Egypt,
from Tyre to the Euphrates,
from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
13 And the earth will be a wasteland
because of its inhabitants,
as a suitable punishment for their deeds.[a]
Make Us See Wonders
14 Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock that is your heritage,
that lives by itself in a forest
with meadows surrounding it.
Let them graze in Bashan[b] and Gilead,
as in the days of old.
