10. At that time the strong, walled city will be empty.It will be like a desert.Calves will eat grass there.They will lie down there.They will eat leaves from the branches.
11. The limbs will become dry and break off.Women will use them for firewood.The people refuse to understand.So God will not comfort them.Their Maker will not be kind to them.
12. At that time the Lord will begin gathering his people one by one. He will gather all his people from the Euphrates River to the brook of Egypt. He will separate them from others as grain is separated from chaff.
13. Many of my people are now lost in Assyria. Some of my people have run away to Egypt. But at that time a great trumpet will be blown. And all those people will come back to Jerusalem. They will bow down before the Lord on that holy mountain.
