⁶ For this is what the Lord says concerning the house of the king of Judah:

³ “I will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands where I have banished them,^(A) and I will return them to their grazing land. They will become fruitful and numerous.^(B)

¹² “This is what the Lord of Armies says: In this desolate place—without people or animals—and in all its cities there will once more be a grazing land where shepherds may rest flocks.^(A)

¹⁴ I will tend them in good pasture, and their grazing place will be on Israel’s lofty mountains. There they will lie down in a good grazing place; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
