Context Reading
9They will come with weeping.I will lead them with petitions.I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters,in a straight way in which they won’t stumble;for I am a father to Israel.Ephraim is my firstborn. 10“Hear Yahweh’s word, you nations,and declare it in the distant islands. Say,‘He who scattered Israel will gather him,and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’ 11For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob,and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he. 12They will come and sing in the height of Zion,and will flow to the goodness of Yahweh,to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil,and to the young of the flock and of the herd.Their soul will be as a watered garden.They will not sorrow any more at all. 13Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance,the young men and the old together;for I will turn their mourning into joy,and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
