10. Then my enemy will see;shame will cover her who said to me:"Where is the Lord your God?"My eyes will see her ruin;now she will become something to be trampled,like mud in the streets.
11. A day for the building of your walls!On that day, the boundary will be distant.
12. On that day, they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,from Egypt to the River,from sea to sea,and from mountain to mountain.
13. And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants,because of the fruit of their actions.
14. Shepherd your people with your staff,the sheep of your inheritance,those dwelling alone in a forest in the midst of Carmel.Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as a long time ago.
15. As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,I will show Israel wonderful things.
16. Nations will see and be ashamed of all their strength;they will cover their mouths;their ears will be deaf.
17. They will lick dust like the snake,like things that crawl on the ground.They will come trembling from their strongholds to the Lord our God;they will dread and fear you!
18. Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity,overlooking the sin of the few remaining for his inheritance?He doesn’t hold on to his anger forever;he delights in faithful love.
19. He will once again have compassion on us;he will tread down our iniquities.You will hurl all our sins into the depths of the sea.
20. You will provide faithfulness to Jacob, faithful love to Abraham,as you swore to our ancestors a long time ago.
