And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
And on that day, a great trumpet will sound, and those who were about to die in Assyria and those who were cast out and living in Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
God promises that one day He will call His scattered people back home from wherever they've been exiled, and they will worship Him together in Jerusalem.

This verse is part of a broader prophecy about God's future intervention, where He would summon and restore His scattered people from foreign lands such as Assyria and Egypt. It reflects the historical reality of exile and God's covenant promise to regather Israel for worship in Jerusalem, symbolizing hope amid oppression.
