12 On that day, they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,from Egypt to the River,from sea to sea,and from mountain to mountain.
13 And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants,because of the fruit of their actions.
14 Shepherd your people with your staff,the sheep of your inheritance,those dwelling alone in a forest in the midst of Carmel.Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as a long time ago.
15 As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,I will show Israel wonderful things.
16 Nations will see and be ashamed of all their strength;they will cover their mouths;their ears will be deaf.
17 They will lick dust like the snake,like things that crawl on the ground.They will come trembling from their strongholds to the Lord our God;they will dread and fear you!
18 Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity,overlooking the sin of the few remaining for his inheritance?He doesn’t hold on to his anger forever;he delights in faithful love.
