³ ‘I will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands where I have banished them,^(A) and I will return them to their grazing land. They will become fruitful and numerous.^(B)

⁸ but, “As the Lord lives, who brought and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the land of the north and from all the other countries where I^[a] had banished them.” They will dwell once more in their own land.’^(A)

¹⁴ I will be found by you’ – this is the Lord’s declaration – ‘and I will restore your fortunes^[a](A) and gather you from all the nations and places where I banished you’ – this is the Lord’s declaration. ‘I will restore you to the place from which I deported you.’^(B)

¹⁸ I will pursue them with sword, famine, and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth – a curse and a desolation, an object of scorn and a disgrace among all the nations^(A) where I have banished them.^(B)

³⁷ I will certainly gather them from all the lands where I have banished them in my anger, fury, and intense wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them live in safety.^(A)

⁷ Lord, righteousness belongs to you,^(A) but this day public shame belongs to us: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel – those who are near and those who are far, in all the countries where you have banished them because of the disloyalty they have shown towards you.
