See, I will bring them from the north country,
    and gather them from the remote parts of the earth,
and with them the blind and the lame,
    the woman with child and her who is in labor with child, together;
    a great company will return here.
They will come with weeping,
    and with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters,
    in a straight way in which they shall not stumble.
For I am a Father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is My firstborn.

10 Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
    and declare it in the coastlands far off, and say,
“He who scattered Israel will gather him
    and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.”

I will lead(F) them beside streams of water(G)

because I am Israel’s father,(I)
    and Ephraim is my firstborn son.

    and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’(M)
