7 For thus says the Lord: 'Exult in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles. Shout, and sing, and say: 'O Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel!'
8 Behold, I will lead them from the land of the north, and I will gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the lame, she who is with child, together with she who is giving birth: a great assembly returning to this place.
9 They will approach with weeping. And I will lead them back with mercy. And I will lead them through the torrents of water, by an upright way, and they will not stumble in it. For I have become Father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.'
10 Listen to the word of the Lord, O Gentiles, and announce it amid the islands that are far away, and say: 'Whoever has scattered Israel will gather him, and he will guard him as a shepherd guards his flock.'
11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and he has freed him from the hand of one more powerful.
