11 If a man should walk in a false spirit
And speak a lie, saying,
‘I will [a]prophesy to you [b]of wine and drink,’
Even he would be the (A)prattler of this people.

Israel Restored

12 “I(B) will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob,
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together (C)like sheep of [c]the fold,
Like a flock in the midst of their pasture;
(D)They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
13 The one who breaks open will come up before them;
They will break out,
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
(E)Their king will pass before them,
(F)With the Lord at their head.”
