31:10 Hear what the Lord has to say, O nations.
Proclaim it in the faraway lands along the sea.
Say, “The one who scattered Israel will regather them.
He will watch over his people like a shepherd watches over his flock.”
31:11 For the Lord will rescue the descendants of Jacob.
He will secure their release 1 from those who had overpowered them. 2
31:12 They will come and shout for joy on Mount Zion.
They will be radiant with joy 3 over the good things the Lord provides,
the grain, the fresh wine, the olive oil,
the young sheep and calves he has given to them.
They will be like a well-watered garden
and will not grow faint or weary any more.
31:23 The Lord God of Israel who rules over all 4 says,
“I will restore the people of Judah to their land and to their towns.
When I do, they will again say 5 of Jerusalem, 6
‘May the Lord bless you, you holy mountain,
the place where righteousness dwells.’ 7
