Hope for Restoration
12 “Someday, O Israel, I will gather you;
I will gather the remnant who are left.
I will bring you together again like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture.
Yes, your land will again
be filled with noisy crowds!

out through the gates of the enemy cities,
back to your own land.
Your king will lead you;
the Lord himself will guide you.”
