Are these His doings?
Do not My words do good
To him who walks uprightly?

You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.

From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.

Even he would be the aprattler of this people.

Israel Restored
12 “Ia will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob,
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together blike sheep of the fold,
Like a flock in the midst of their pasture;
cThey shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
