Yahweh promised to restore them

12 “But some day, you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back from ◄exile/other countries►,

I will gather you together

like [SIM] a shepherd gathers his sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU];

there will be many of you in your land/country.

13 Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled;

he will lead them out of the gates of their enemies’ cities,

back to your own country.

Your king will lead them;

it is I, Yahweh, who will be their king!”
