8 I will call my peopleand gather them together.I will save them.And there will be as many of them as there used to be.
9 I have scattered them among the nations.But in those faraway places, they will remember me.They and their children will live and return.
10 I will bring them back from Egypt.I will gather them from Assyria.I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon.There won’t be enough room in the land for them all.
11 They will come through their sea of trouble.The waves of the sea will be calm.And the Nile River will dry up.I will defeat Assyria’s pride.I will destroy Egypt’s power over other countries.
12 I will make my people strong.And they will live as I say,” says the Lord.
