12 Your people will come back to your land.
    They will come from Assyria and the cities of Egypt.
They will come from the countries
    between the river of Egypt and the Euphrates River.
They will come from the countries
    between the Mediterranean Sea in the west and the mountains in the east.
13 The rest of the earth will be ruined.
    This is because of what the people who lived in it did.

A Prayer to God

14 So shepherd your people with your stick.
    Tend the flock of people who belong to you.
That flock now lives alone in the desert.
    But there is fertile pasture nearby.
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
    as they did long ago.

12 In that day people will come to you
    from Assyria(A) and the cities of Egypt,
even from Egypt to the Euphrates
    and from sea to sea
    and from mountain to mountain.(B)
13 The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants,
    as the result of their deeds.(C)

Prayer and Praise

14 Shepherd(D) your people with your staff,(E)
    the flock of your inheritance,
which lives by itself in a forest,
    in fertile pasturelands.[a](F)
Let them feed in Bashan(G) and Gilead(H)
    as in days long ago.(I)
