11 Suppose a prophet goes around telling lies.
    And he prophesies that you will have
    plenty of wine and beer.

    just right for this nation!

The Lord Promises to Save His People

12 “People of Jacob, I will gather all of you.
    I will bring together
    you who are still left alive in Israel.
I will gather you together like sheep in a pen.
    You will be like a flock in its grasslands.
    Your country will be filled with people.
13 I will open the way for you to return.
    I will march in front of you.
    You will break through the city gates and go free.
I am your King. I will pass through the gates
    in front of you.
    I, the Lord, will lead the way.”

Deliverance Promised

12 “I will surely gather all of you, Jacob;
    I will surely bring together the remnant(D) of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
    like a flock in its pasture;
    the place will throng with people.(E)
13 The One who breaks open the way will go up before(F) them;
    they will break through the gate(G) and go out.
Their King will pass through before them,
    the Lord at their head.”
