And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
And I will gather the survivors of my people from all the countries where I scattered them, and I will bring them back to their homeland. There they will be fruitful and grow in number.
God is promising to bring His scattered people back home and help them flourish again after their punishment.
