12 And he will certainly raise up a signal* for the nations and gather the dispersed ones of Israel;+ and the scattered ones* of Judah he will collect together from the four extremities* of the earth.+

5 “Do not be afraid, for I am with you.+ From the sunrising I shall bring your seed, and from the sunset I shall collect you together.+

12 Look! These will come even from far away,+ and, look! these from the north+ and from the west,*+ and these from the land of Siʹnim.”*

8 but, ‘Jehovah is alive who brought up and who brought in the offspring* of the house of Israel out of the land of the north and out of all the lands to which I have dispersed them,’ and they will certainly dwell on their own ground.”+

12 According to the care of one feeding his drove+ in the day of his coming to be in the midst of his sheep that have been spread abroad,+ that is the way that I shall care for my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all the places to which they have been scattered in the day of clouds and thick gloom.+
