I will bring them home from the land of Egypt and gather them from Assyria; I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon, until there is no room for them.
For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are like Gilead to me, like the summit of Lebanon, but I swear that I will make you a desert, uninhabited cities.
I will restore Israel to its pasture, and it shall feed on Carmel and in Bashan, and on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead its hunger shall be satisfied.
The exiles of the Israelites who are in Halah shall possess Phoenicia as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the towns of the Negeb.
Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock that belongs to you, which lives alone in a forest in the midst of a garden land; let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old.
