11     If someone going on about nothing of worth wanders by and says,
        “I’ve come to preach to you of whiskey and wine,”
    Then these selfish people would hire him
        as their official speaker just because they like his message.

12     I will certainly gather you all together, people of Jacob;
        I will surely bring you together with the survivors of Israel’s decimation.
    I will gather them like sheep in a fold,
        and like a flock trapped in the center of their pasture,
    They will make a great noise, there will be so many of them.

        then all break through the gate and escape.
    Their king will show the way, and the Eternal One will lead them.

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.”
