9 I have sinned against the Lord.And so I must endure his anger,until he comes to my defense.But I know that I will see himmaking things right for meand leading me to the light.
10 You, my enemies, said,“The Lord God is helpless.”Now each of youwill be disgracedand put to shame.I will see you trampledlike mud in the street.
11 Towns of Judah, the day is comingwhen your walls will be rebuilt,and your boundaries enlarged.
12 People will flock to youfrom Assyria and Egypt,from Babyloniaand everywhere else.
13 Those nations will suffer disasterbecause of what they did.
14 Lead your people, Lord!Come and be our shepherd.Grasslands surround us,but we live in a forest.So lead us to Bashan and Gilead,and let us find pastureas we did long ago.
15 I, the Lord, will work miraclesjust as I did when I led youout of Egypt.
