11-13 Oh, that will be a day! A day for rebuilding your city,

a day for stretching your arms, spreading your wings!

All your dispersed and scattered people will come back,

old friends and family from faraway places,

From Assyria in the east to Egypt in the west,

from across the seas and out of the mountains.

But there’ll be a reversal for everyone else—massive depopulation—

because of the way they lived, the things they did.
