The Restored Remnant

²¹ Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will ^(A)take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; ²² and I will make them ^(B)one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and ^(C)one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms.

⁴ Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘^(A)Old men and old women will again sit in the ^[a]streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of ^[b]age. ⁵ And the ^[c]streets of the city will be filled with ^(B)boys and girls playing in its ^[d]streets.’ ⁶ Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘If it is ^[e](C)too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be ^[f](D)too difficult in My sight?’ declares the Lord of hosts. ⁷ Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the ^[g](E)east and from the land of the ^[h]west; ⁸ and I will ^(F)bring them back and they will ^(G)live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be ^(H)My people, and I will be their God in ^[i]truth and righteousness.’
