¹⁰ “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
    proclaim it in distant coastlands:^(A)
‘He who scattered^(B) Israel will gather^(C) them
    and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’^(D)

¹¹ For the Lord will deliver Jacob
    and redeem^(A) them from the hand of those stronger^(B) than they.
¹² They will come and shout for joy^(C) on the heights^(D) of Zion;
    they will rejoice in the bounty^(E) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,^(F)
    the young of the flocks^(G) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,^(H)
    and they will sorrow^(I) no more.

¹³ Then young women will dance and be glad,
    young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning^(A) into gladness;
    I will give them comfort^(B) and joy^(C) instead of sorrow.
