A Promise for the Remnant of Israel

12 I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob,
    I will gather the survivors of Israel;
I will set them together
    like sheep in a fold,
like a flock in its pasture;
    it will resound with people.

    going out by it.
Their king will pass on before them,
    the Lord at their head.

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.”
