13 Yet the land will become a wasteland because of her inhabitants, because of the fruit of their misdeeds.
14 Tend Your people with Your staff, the flock of Your inheritance, dwelling alone, in a forest in the midst of a fertile garden. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 As in the days of your coming out from the land of Egypt I will show him wonders.
16 Nations will see and be put to shame despite all their might. They will put a hand on their mouth, their ears will be deaf.
17 They will lick dust like a snake. Like crawling things of the land, they will come trembling out of their hiding places. To Adonai Eloheinu they will submit in awe—in awe of You.
18 Who is a God like You pardoning iniquity, overlooking transgression, for the remnant of His heritage? He will not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy.
19 He will again have compassion on us. He will subdue our iniquities, and You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
