Behold, I will bring them (A)from the north country
    and (B)gather them from (C)the farthest parts of the earth,
among them (D)the blind and the lame,
    the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
    a great company, they shall return here.
(E)With weeping they shall come,
    (F)and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back,
I will make them (G)walk by brooks of water,
    (H)in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,
for (I)I am a father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is (J)my firstborn.

10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
    and declare it in the coastlands far away;
say, ‘He who scattered Israel will (K)gather him,
    and will keep him (L)as a shepherd keeps his flock.’
11 (M)For the Lord has ransomed Jacob
    and has redeemed him from (N)hands too strong for him.
12 They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
    (O)and they shall be radiant (P)over the goodness of the Lord,
(Q)over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
    and over the young of the flock and the herd;
(R)their life shall be like a watered garden,
    (S)and they shall languish no more.
