11. People of Jerusalem, the time will come when your walls will be rebuilt. Land will be added to your territory.
12. At that time your people will come back to you. They'll return from Assyria and the cities of Egypt. They'll come from the countries between Egypt and the Euphrates River. They'll return from the lands between the seas. They'll come back from the countries between the mountains.
13. But the rest of the earth will be deserted. The people who live in it have done many evil things.
14. Lord, be like a shepherd to your people. Take good care of them. They are your flock. They live by themselves in the safety of a forest. Rich grasslands are all around them. Let them eat grass in Bashan and Gilead just as they did long ago.
15. The Lord says to his people, "I showed your people my wonders when they came out of Egypt long ago. In the same way, I will show them to you."
