I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
I'm definitely bringing all of you back together, Jacob, every last person from Israel who's left. I'll gather you up like sheep in Bozrah, like a huge flock packed into their pen. It's going to be so loud with all the people, like a massive crowd that can't be contained.
God's promise: no matter how scattered you are, he's bringing everyone back together.
