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]

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.
