I will bring them back from Egypt and Assyria. I will bring them to the area of Gilead. And since there will not be enough room, I will also let them live in nearby Lebanon.” (
The smallest family will become\par a large family group.\par The smallest family will become\par a powerful nation.\par When the time is right,\par I, the Lord, will come quickly.\par I will make these things happen.”\par
“I will bring Israel back to his own fields.\par He will eat food that grows\par on Mount Carmel\par and in the land of Bashan.\par He will eat and be full.\par He will eat on the hills\par in the lands of Ephraim and Gilead.”\par
I will roar like a lion.\par I will roar, and my children will come\par and follow me.\par My children will come from the west,\par shaking with fear.\par
They will come from Egypt\par shaking like birds.\par They will come shaking like doves\par from the land of Assyria.\par And I will take them back home.”\par The Lord said that.\par
So rule your people with your rod.\par Rule the flock of people\par that belongs to you.\par That flock lives alone in the woods,\par and up on Mount Carmel.\par That flock lives in Bashan and Gilead\par like they did in time past.\par
