⁸ Behold, I will bring them ^(A)from the north country
    and ^(B)gather them from ^(C)the farthest parts of the earth,
among them ^(D)the blind and the lame,
    the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
    a great company, they shall return here.

^9 (A)With weeping they shall come,
    ^(B)and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back,
I will make them ^(C)walk by brooks of water,
    ^(D)in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,
for ^(E)I am a father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is ^(F)my firstborn.
