13. Yet the land will become a wasteland because of her inhabitants, because of the fruit of their misdeeds.
14. Tend Your people with Your staff, the flock of Your inheritance, dwelling alone, in a forest in the midst of a fertile garden. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15. As in the days of your coming out from the land of Egypt I will show him wonders.
16. Nations will see and be put to shame despite all their might. They will put a hand on their mouth, their ears will be deaf.
17. They will lick dust like a snake. Like crawling things of the land, they will come trembling out of their hiding places. To Adonai Eloheinu they will submit in awe—in awe of You.
18. Who is a God like You pardoning iniquity, overlooking transgression, for the remnant of His heritage? He will not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy.
