12. On that day he will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the River, and from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
13. But the earth will be a desolation because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their deeds.
14. Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, those dwelling alone in a forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15. As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt I will show him wondrous things.
16. The nations will see and be ashamed because of all their might. They will lay the hand on the mouth; their ears will be deaf.
17. They will lick the dust like the serpent, like the crawling things of the earth. They will come trembling from their strongholds to Yahweh our God. Let them fear and be afraid of you.
18. Who is a God like you, forgiving sin and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, for he delights in loyal love.
19. He will again have compassion on us; he will trample our iniquities. And you will hurl all their sins in the depths of the sea.
20. You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and loyal love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our ancestors from the days of old.
