The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He gathers the scattered people of Israel.

“‘ “I will take you out of the nations. I will gather you together from all the countries. I will bring you back into your own land.

He might bring suffering. But he will also show loving concern. How great his faithful love is!

A shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them. And I will look after my sheep. I will save them from all the places where they were scattered on a dark and cloudy day.I will bring them out from among the nations. I will gather them together from other countries. I will bring them into their own land. There they will eat grass on the mountains and in the valleys. And they will eat in all the fields of Israel.

In the same way, Israel has not been obeying God. But now they receive mercy because of God’s mercy to you.

Because they were his people, he remembered his covenant. Because of his great love, he felt sorry for them.He made all those who held them as prisoners have mercy on them.Lord our God, save us. Bring us back from among the nations. Then we will give thanks to you, because your name is holy. We will celebrate by praising you.

He continued,“ I will save my people. I will gather them from the countries of the east and the west.I will bring them back to live in Jerusalem. They will be my people. I will be their faithful God. I will keep my promises to them.”

The Lord loves us very much. So we haven’t been completely destroyed. His loving concern never fails.

“ Listen to my message, you nations. Announce it on shores far away. Say,‘ He who scattered Israel will gather them. He will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’

If the people of Israel do not continue in their unbelief, they will again be joined to the tree. God is able to join them to the tree again.

“ You can be sure that I will gather my people again. I will send them away when my burning anger blazes out against them. But I will bring them back to this place. And I will let them live in safety.They will be my people. And I will be their God.I will give them a single purpose in life. Then, they will always have respect for me. Then all will go well for them. And it will also go well for their children after them.I will make a covenant with them that will last forever. I promise that I will never stop doing good to them. I will cause them to respect me. Then they will never turn away from me again.I will take pleasure in doing good things for them. I will certainly plant them in this land. I will do these things with all my heart and soul.”The Lord says,“ I have brought all this horrible trouble on these people. But now I will give them all the good things I have promised them.Once more fields will be bought in this land. It is the land about which you now say,‘ It is a dry and empty desert. It doesn’t have any people or animals in it. It has been handed over to the armies of Babylon.’Fields will be bought with silver. Deeds will be signed, sealed and witnessed. That will be done in the territory of Benjamin. It will be done in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah. It will also be done in the towns of the central hill country. And it will be done in the towns of the western hills and the Negev Desert. I will bless their people with great success again,” announces the Lord.

In this way all Israel will be saved. It is written,“ The God who saves will come from Mount Zion. He will remove sin from Jacob’s family.

Our enemies took us away from Zion. But when the Lord brought us home, it seemed like a dream to us.Our mouths were filled with laughter. Our tongues sang with joy. Then the people of other nations said,“ The Lord has done great things for them.”The Lord has done great things for us. And we are filled with joy.Lord, bless us with great success again, as rain makes streams flow in the Negev Desert.

It was the first year of the rule of Cyrus. He was king of Persia. The Lord inspired him to send a message all through his kingdom. It happened so that what the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah would come true. The message was written down. It said,“ Cyrus, the king of Persia, says,“‘ The Lord is the God of heaven. He has given me all the kingdoms on earth. He has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah.Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem and build the Lord’ s temple. He is the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem. And may their God be with them.The people still left alive in every place must bring gifts to the people going. They must provide silver and gold to the people going up to Jerusalem. The people must bring goods and livestock. They should also bring any offerings they choose to. All those gifts will be for God’s temple in Jerusalem.’ ”

The Lord and King will gather those who were taken away from their homes in Israel. He announces,“ I will gather them to myself. And I will gather others to join them.”
