In Context

10Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O ye nations, And declare ye in the Coastlands, afar off,—And say—He that scattereth Israel, will gather him, And watch over him as a shepherd his flock;

12Then shall they come in and shall shout in triumph on the height of Zion, And shall stream unto the goodness of Yahweh To the wheat, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flocks and of the herds,—So shall their soul become like a garden well watered, And they shall not again languish any more.
