“Devarim – Deuteronomy”

When all these things befall you – the blessing and the curse that I have set before you – and you take them to heart amidst the various nations to which the Lord your God has banished you, and you return to the Lord your God, and you and your children heed His command with all your heart and soul, just as I enjoin upon you this day, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and take you back in love. He will bring you together again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers. (Deuteronomy 30:1-5)

“2 Divrei Hayamim – 2 Chronicles”

If you return to the Lord, your brothers and children will be regarded with compassion by their captors, and will return to this land; for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn His face from you if you return to Him. (2 Chronicles 30:9)

“Nechemiah – Nehemiah”

Be mindful of the promise You gave to Your servant Moses: “If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; but if you turn back to Me, faithfully keep My commandments, even if your dispersed are at the ends of the earth, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I have chosen to establish My name.” (Nehemiah 1:8-9)

“Tehillim – Psalms”

O that the deliverance of Israel might come from Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people, Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice. (Psalms 14:7)

O offspring of Abraham, His servant, O descendants of Jacob, His chosen ones. He is the Lord our God; His judgments are throughout the earth. He is ever mindful of His covenant, the promise He gave for a thousand generations, that He made with Abraham, swore to Isaac, and confirmed in a decree for Jacob, for Israel, as an eternal covenant, saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your allotted heritage.” (Psalms 105:6-11)

When He saw that they were in distress, when He heard their cry, He was mindful of His covenant and in His great faithfulness relented. He made all their captors kindly disposed toward them. Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, to acclaim Your holy name, to glory in Your praise. Blessed is the Lord, God of Israel, from eternity to eternity. Let all the people say, “Amen.” Hallelujah. (Psalms 106:44-48)

Thus let the redeemed of the Lord say, those He redeemed from adversity, whom He gathered in from the lands, from east and west, from the north and from the sea. (Psalms 107:2-3)

When the Lord restores the fortunes of Zion – we see it as in a dream. (Psalms 126:1)

The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; He gathers in the exiles of Israel. He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds. (Psalms 147:2-3)

“Yeshayahu – Isaiah”

In that day, my Lord will apply His hand again to redeeming the other part of His people from Assyria – as also from Egypt, Pathros, Nubia, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coastlands. He will hold up a signal to the nations and assemble the banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. (Isaiah 11:11-12)

But the Lord will pardon Jacob, and will again choose Israel, and will settle them on their own soil. And strangers shall join them and shall cleave to the House of Jacob. For peoples shall take them and bring them to their homeland; and the House of Israel shall possess them as slaves and handmaids on the soil of the Lord. They shall be captors of their captors and masters to their taskmasters. And when the Lord has given you rest from your sorrow and trouble, and from the hard service that you were made to serve. (Isaiah 14:1-3)

And in that day, the Lord will beat out [the peoples like grain] from the channel of the Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt; and you shall be picked up one by one, O children of Israel! And in that day, a great ram’s horn shall be sounded; and the strayed who are in the land of Assyria and the expelled who are in the land of Egypt shall come and worship the Lord on the holy mount, in Jerusalem. (Isaiah 27:12-13)

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come with shouting to Zion, crowned with joy everlasting. They shall attain joy and gladness, while sorrow and sighing flee. (Isaiah 35:10)

But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, seed of Abraham My friend – you whom I drew from the ends of the earth and called from its far corners, to whom I said: You are My servant; I chose you, I have not rejected you – Fear not, for I am with you, Be not frightened, for I am your God; I strengthen you and I help you, I uphold you with My victorious right hand. (Isaiah 41:8-10)

Fear not, for I am with you: I will bring your folk from the East, will gather you out of the West; I will say to the North, “Give back!” And to the South, “Do not withhold! Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the end of the earth.” (Isaiah 43:5-6)

But confirmed the word of My servant and fulfill the prediction of My messengers. It is I who say of Jerusalem, “It shall be inhabited,” And of the towns of Judah, “They shall be rebuilt; and I will restore their ruined places.” (Isaiah 44:26)

And now the Lord has resolved – He who formed me in the womb to be His servant – To bring back Jacob to Himself, that Israel may be restored to Him. And I have been honored in the sight of the Lord, my God has been my strength. For He has said: “It is too little that you should be My servant in that I raise up the tribes of Jacob and restore the survivors of Israel: I will also make you a light of nations, that My salvation may reach the ends of the earth.” (Isaiah 49:5-6)

I will make all My mountains a road, and My highways shall be built up. Look! These are coming from afar, these from the north and the west, and these from the land of Sinim. (Isaiah 49:11-12)

Zion says, “The Lord has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me.” Can a woman forget her baby, or disown the child of her womb? Though she might forget, I never could forget you. See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands, your walls are ever before Me. Swiftly your children are coming; those who ravaged and ruined you shall leave you. Look up all around you and see: They are all assembled, are come to you! As I live – declares the Lord – You shall don them all like jewels, deck yourself with them like a bride. As for your ruins and desolate places and your land laid waste – you shall soon be crowded with settlers, while destroyers stay far from you. The children you thought you had lost shall yet say in your hearing, “The place is too crowded for me; make room for me to settle.” (Isaiah 49:14-20)

Thus said the Lord God: I will raise My hand to nations and lift up My ensign to peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosoms, and carry your daughters on their backs. (Isaiah 49:22)

So let the ransomed of the Lord return, and come with shouting to Zion, crowned with joy everlasting. Let them attain joy and gladness, while sorrow and sighing flee. (Isaiah 51:11)

How welcome on the mountain are the footsteps of the herald announcing happiness, heralding good fortune, announcing victory, telling Zion, “Your God is King!” Hark! Your watchmen raise their voices, as one they shout for joy; for every eye shall behold the Lord’s return to Zion. Raise a shout together, O ruins of Jerusalem! For the Lord will comfort His people, will redeem Jerusalem. (Isaiah 52:7-9)

The Lord has called you back as a wife forlorn and forsaken. Can one cast off the wife of his youth? – said your God. For a little while I forsook you, but with vast love I will bring you back. In slight anger, for a moment, I hid My face from you; but with kindness everlasting I will take you back in love – said the Lord your Redeemer. (Isaiah 54:6–8)

“As for the foreigners who attach themselves to the Lord, to minister to Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants – all who keep the sabbath and do not profane it, and who hold fast to My covenant – I will bring them to My sacred mount and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices shall be welcome on My altar; for My House shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” Thus declares the Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will gather still more to those already gathered.” (Isaiah 56:6-8)

Men from your midst shall rebuild ancient ruins, you shall restore foundations laid long ago. And you shall be called “Repairer of fallen walls, restorer of lanes for habitation.” (Isaiah 58:12)

Raise your eyes and look about: they have all gathered and come to you. Your sons shall be brought from afar, your daughters like babes on shoulders. As you behold, you will glow; your heart will throb and thrill – for the wealth of the sea shall pass on to you, the riches of nations shall flow to you. (Isaiah 60:4-5)

Who are these that float like a cloud, like doves to their cotes? Behold, the coastlands await me, with ships of Tarshish in the lead, to bring your sons from afar, and their silver and gold as well – for the name of the Lord your God, for the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you. (Isaiah 60:8-9)

And they shall build the ancient ruins, raise up the desolations of old, and renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many ages. Strangers shall stand and pasture your flocks, aliens shall be your plowmen and vine-trimmers; while you shall be called “Priests of the Lord,” and termed “Servants of our God.” You shall enjoy the wealth of nations and revel in their riches. Because your shame was double – men cried, “Disgrace is their portion” – Assuredly, they shall have a double share in their land, joy shall be theirs for all time. (Isaiah 61:4-7)

Pass through, pass through the gates! Clear the road for the people; Build up, build up the highway, remove the rocks! Raise an ensign over the peoples! (Isaiah 62:10)

And out of all the nations, said the Lord, they shall bring all your brothers on horses, in chariots and drays, on mules and dromedaries, to Jerusalem My holy mountain as an offering to the Lord – just as the Israelites bring an offering in a pure vessel to the House of the Lord. And from them likewise I will take some to be levitical priests, said the Lord. For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will make shall endure by My will – declares the Lord – so shall your seed and your name endure. (Isaiah 66:20-22)

“Yirmiyahu – Jeremiah”

In those days, the House of Judah shall go with the House of Israel; they shall come together from the land of the north to the land I gave your fathers as a possession. (Jeremiah 3:18)

Assuredly, a time is coming – declares the Lord – when it shall no more be said, “As the Lord lives who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt,” but rather, “As the Lord lives who brought the Israelites out of the northland, and out of all the lands to which He had banished them.” For I will bring them back to their land, which I gave to their fathers. (Jeremiah 16:14-15)

Lo, I am sending for many fishermen – declares the Lord – and they shall haul them out; and after that I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them out of every mountain and out of every hill and out of the clefts of the rocks. (Jeremiah 16:16) And I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock from all the lands to which I have banished them, and I will bring them back to their pasture, where they shall be fertile and increase. And I will appoint over them shepherds who will tend them; they shall no longer fear or be dismayed, and none of them shall be missing – declares the Lord. See, a time is coming – declares the Lord – when I will raise up a true branch of David’s line. He shall reign as king and shall prosper, and he shall do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah shall be delivered and Israel shall dwell secure. And this is the name by which he shall be called “The Lord is our Vindicator.” (Jeremiah 23:3-6)

I will look upon them favorably, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not overthrow them; I will plant them and not uproot them. And I will give them the understanding to acknowledge Me, for I am the Lord. And they shall be My people and I will be their God, when they turn back to Me with all their heart. (Jeremiah 24:6-7)

For I am mindful of the plans I have made concerning you – declares the Lord – plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a hopeful future. When you call Me, and come and pray to Me, I will give heed to you. You will search for Me and find Me, if only you seek Me wholeheartedly. I will be at hand for you – declares the Lord – and I will restore your fortunes. And I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places to which I have banished you – declares the Lord – and I will bring you back to the place from which I have exiled you. (Jeremiah 29:11-14)

For days are coming – declares the Lord – when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah, said the Lord; and I will bring them back to the land that I gave their fathers, and they shall possess it. (Jeremiah 30:3) But you, have no fear, My servant Jacob – declares the Lord – be not dismayed, O Israel! I will deliver you from far away, your folk from their land of captivity. And Jacob shall again have calm and quiet with none to trouble him. (Jeremiah 30:10)

I will bring them in from the northland, gather them from the ends of the earth – the blind and the lame among them, those with child and those in labor – in a vast throng they shall return here. They shall come with weeping, and with compassion will I guide them. I will lead them to streams of water, by a level road where they will not stumble. For I am ever a Father to Israel, Ephraim is My first-born. (Jeremiah 31:8-9)

Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and tell it in the isles afar. Say: He who scattered Israel will gather them, and will guard them as a shepherd his flock. For the Lord will ransom Jacob, redeem him from one too strong for him. They shall come and shout on the heights of Zion, radiant over the bounty of the Lord – over new grain and wine and oil, and over sheep and cattle. They shall fare like a watered garden, they shall never languish again. (Jeremiah 31:10-12)

Thus said the Lord: A cry is heard in Ramah – wailing, bitter weeping – Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, who are gone. Thus said the Lord: Restrain your voice from weeping, your eyes from shedding tears; for there is a reward for your labor – declares the Lord: They shall return from the enemy’s land. And there is hope for your future – declares the Lord: Your children shall return to their country. (Jeremiah 31:15-17)

Thus said the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: They shall again say this in the land of Judah and in its towns, when I restore their fortunes: “The Lord bless you, abode of righteousness, O holy mountain!” Judah and all its towns alike shall be inhabited by the farmers and such as move about with the flocks. For I will give the thirsty abundant drink, and satisfy all who languish. (Jeremiah 31:23-25)

See, a time is coming – declares the Lord – when I will sow the House of Israel and the House of Judah with seed of men and seed of cattle; and just as I was watchful over them to uproot and to pull down, to overthrow and to destroy and to bring disaster, so I will be watchful over them to build and to plant – declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 31:27-28)

See, I will gather them from all the lands to which I have banished them in My anger and wrath, and in great rage; and I will bring them back to this place and let them dwell secure. They shall be My people, and I will be their God. I will give them a single heart and a single nature to revere Me for all time, and it shall be well with them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them and that I will treat them graciously; and I will put into their hearts reverence for Me, so that they do not turn away from Me. I will delight in treating them graciously, and I will plant them in this land faithfully, with all My heart and soul. (Jeremiah 32:37-41)

And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and I will rebuild them as of old. (Jeremiah 33:7)

Thus said the Lord: As surely as I have established My covenant with day and night – the laws of heaven and earth – so I will never reject the offspring of Jacob and My servant David; I will never fail to take from his offspring rulers for the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, I will restore their fortunes and take them back in love. (Jeremiah 33:25-26) Why are your stalwarts swept away? They did not stand firm, for the Lord thrust them down; He made many stumble, they fell over one another. They said: “Up! Let us return to our people, to the land of our birth, because of the deadly sword.” (Jeremiah 46:15-16)

For a nation from the north has attacked her, it will make her land a desolation. No one shall dwell in it, both man and beast shall wander away. In those days and at that time – declares the Lord – the people of Israel together with the people of Judah shall come, and they shall weep as they go to seek the Lord their God. They shall inquire for Zion; in that direction their faces shall turn; they shall come and attach themselves to the Lord by a covenant for all time, which shall never be forgotten. (Jeremiah 50:3-5)

Assuredly, thus said the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: … And I will lead Israel back to his pasture, and he shall graze in Carmel and Bashan, and eat his fill in the hill country of Ephraim and in Gilead. In those days and at that time – declares the Lord – the iniquity of Israel shall be sought, and there shall be none; the sins of Judah, and none shall be found; for I will pardon those I allow to survive. (Jeremiah 50:18-20)

“Yechezkiel – Ezekiel”

Then the word of the Lord came to me: “O mortal, [I will save] your brothers, your brothers, the men of your kindred, all of that very House of Israel to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, ‘Keep far from the Lord; the land has been given as a heritage to us.’ Say then: Thus said the Lord God: I have indeed removed them far among the nations and have scattered them among the countries, and I have become to them a diminished sanctity in the countries whither they have gone. Yet say: Thus said the Lord God: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the Land of Israel. And they shall return there, and do away with all its detestable things and all its abominations. I will give them one heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove the heart of stone from their bodies and give them a heart of flesh, that they may follow My laws and faithfully observe My rules. Then they shall be My people and I will be their God. (Ezekiel 11:14-20)

For only on My holy mountain, on the lofty mount of Israel – declares the Lord God – there, in the land, the entire House of Israel, all of it, must worship Me. There I will accept them, and there I will take note of your contributions and the choicest offerings of all your sacred things. When I bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands in which you are scattered, I will accept you as a pleasing odor; and I will be sanctified through you in the sight of the nations. Then, when I have brought you to the land of Israel, to the country that I swore to give to your fathers, you shall know that I am the Lord. (Ezekiel 20:40-42)

Thus said the Lord God: When I have gathered the House of Israel from the peoples among which they have been dispersed, and have shown Myself holy through them in the sight of the nations, they shall settle on their own soil, which I gave to My servant Jacob, and they shall dwell on it in security. They shall build houses and plant vineyards, and shall dwell on it in security, when I have meted out punishment to all those about them who despise them. And they shall know that I the Lord am their God. (Ezekiel 28:25-26)

I will take them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them to their own land, and will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses and in all the settled portions of the land. I will feed them in good grazing land, and the lofty hills of Israel shall be their pasture. There, in the hills of Israel, they shall lie down in a good pasture and shall feed on rich grazing land. I Myself will graze My flock, and I Myself will let them lie down – declares the Lord God. I will look for the lost, and I will bring back the strayed; I will bandage the injured, and I will sustain the weak; and the fat and healthy ones I will destroy. I will tend them rightly. (Ezekiel 34:13-16)

Thus said the Lord God: I hereby swear that the nations which surround you shall, in their turn, suffer disgrace. But you, O mountains of Israel, shall yield your produce and bear your fruit for My people Israel, for their return is near. For I will care you: I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will settle a large population on you, the whole House of Israel; the towns shall be resettled, and the ruined sites rebuilt. I will multiply men and beasts upon you, and they shall increase and be fertile, and I will resettle you as you were formerly, and will make you more prosperous than you were at first. And you shall know that I am the Lord. I will lead men – My people Israel – to you, and they shall possess you. You shall be their heritage, and you shall not again cause them to be bereaved. (Ezekiel 36:7-12)

Say to the House of Israel: Thus said the Lord God: Not for your sake will I act, O House of Israel, but for My holy name, which you have caused to be profaned among the nations to which you have come. I will sanctify My great name which has been profaned among the nations – among whom you have caused it to be profaned. And the nations shall know that I am the Lord – declares the Lord God – when I manifest My holiness before their eyes through you. I will take you from among the nations and gather you from all the countries, and I will bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean: I will cleanse you from all your uncleanness and from all your fetishes. And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit into you: I will remove the heart of stone from your body and give you a heart of flesh; and I will put My spirit into you. Thus I will cause you to follow My laws and faithfully to observe My rules. Then you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be My people and I will be your God.

And when I have delivered you from all your uncleanness, I will summon the grain and make it abundant, and I will not bring famine upon you. I will make the fruit of your trees and the crops of your fields abundant, so that you shall never again be humiliated before the nations because of famine. Then you shall recall your evil ways and your base conduct, and you shall loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abhorrent practices. Not for your sake will I act – declares the Lord God – take good note! Be ashamed and humiliated because of your ways, O House of Israel!

Thus said the Lord God: When I have cleansed you of all your iniquities, I will people your settlements, and the ruined places shall be rebuilt; and the desolate land, after lying waste in the sight of every passerby, shall again be tilled. And men shall say, “That land, once desolate, has become like the garden of Eden; and the cities, once ruined, desolate, and ravaged, are now populated fortified.” And the nations that are left around you shall know that I the Lord have rebuilt the ravaged places and replanted the desolate land. I the Lord have spoken and will act.

Thus said the Lord God: Moreover, in this I will respond to the House of Israel and act for their sake: I will multiply their people like sheep. As Jerusalem is filled with sacrificial sheep during her festivals, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. And they shall know that I am the Lord.

The hand of the Lord came upon me. He took me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the valley. It was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many of them spread over the valley, and they were very dry. He said to me, “O mortal, can these bones live again?” I replied, “O Lord God, only You know.” And He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus said the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you and you shall live again. I will lay sinews upon you, and cover you with flesh, and form skin over you. And I will put breath into you, and you shall live again. And you shall know that I am the Lord!”

I prophesied as I had been commanded. And while I was prophesying, suddenly there was a sound of rattling, and the bones came together, bone to matching bone. I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had grown, and skin had formed over them; but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, O mortal! Say to the breath: Thus said the Lord God: Come, O breath, from the four winds, and breathe into these slain, that they may live again.” I prophesied as He commanded me. The breath entered them, and they came to life and stood up on their feet, a vast multitude.

And He said to me, “O mortal, these bones are the whole House of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up, our hope is gone; we are doomed.’ Prophesy, therefore, and say to them: Thus said the Lord God: I am going to open your graves and lift you out of the graves, O My people, and bring you to the land of Israel. You shall know, O My people, that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves and lifted you out of your graves. I will put My breath into you and you shall live again, and I will set you upon your own soil. Then you shall know that I the Lord have spoken and have acted” – declares the Lord. (Ezekiel 36:22-37:14)

And you shall declare to them: Thus said the Lord God: I am going to take the Israelite people from among the nations they have gone to, and gather them from every quarter, and bring them to their own land. I will make them a single nation in the land, on the hills of Israel, and one king shall be king of them all. Never again shall they be two nations, and never again shall they be divided into two kingdoms. (Ezekiel 37:21-22)

After a long time you shall be summoned; in the distant future you shall march against the land [of a people] restored from the sword, gathered from the midst of many peoples – against the mountains of Israel, which have long lain desolate – [a people] liberated from the nations, and now all dwelling secure. (Ezekiel 38:8)

Assuredly, thus said the Lord God: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob and take the whole House of Israel back in love; and I will be zealous for My holy name. They will bear their shame and all their trespasses that they committed against Me, when they dwell in their land secure and untroubled, when I have brought them back from among the peoples and gathered them out of the lands of their enemies and have manifested My holiness through them in the sight of many nations. They shall know that I the Lord am their God when, having exiled them among the nations, I gather them back into their land and leave none of them behind. I will never again hide My face from them, for I will pour out My spirit upon the House of Israel – declares the Lord God. (Ezekiel 39:2529)

“Hoshea – Hosea”

Afterward, the Israelites will turn back and will seek the Lord their God and David their king – and they will thrill over the Lord and over His bounty in the days to come. (Hosea 3:5)

Even Judah has reaped a harvest of you. When I would restore My people’s fortunes (Hosea 6:11)

The Lord will roar like a lion, and they shall march behind Him; when He roars, His children shall come fluttering out of the west. (Hosea 11:10)

“Yoel – Joel”

But everyone who invokes the name of the Lord shall escape; for there shall be a remnant on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, as the Lord promised. Anyone who invokes the Lord will be among the survivors. For lo! In those days and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will contend with them over my very own people, Israel, which they scattered among the nations. For they divided My land among themselves. (Joel 3:5-4:2)

“Amos”

A time is coming – declares the Lord – when the plowman shall meet the reaper, and the treader of grapes Him who holds the [bag of] seed; when the mountains shall drip wine and all the hills shall wave [with grain]. I will restore My people Israel. They shall rebuild ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine; they shall till gardens and eat their fruits. And I will plant them upon their soil, nevermore to be uprooted from the soil I have given them – said the Lord your God. (Amos 9:13–15)

“Michah – Micah”

I will assemble Jacob, all of you; I will bring together the remnant of Israel; I will make them all like sheep of Bozrah, like a flock inside its pen – they will be noisy with people. One who makes a breach goes before them; they enlarge it to a gate and leave by it. Their king marches before them, the Lord at their head. (Micah 2:12-13)

In the days to come, the Mount of the Lord’s House shall stand firm above the mountains; and it shall tower above the hills. The peoples shall gaze on it with joy, and the many nations shall go and shall say: “Come, let us go up to the Mount of the Lord, to the House of the God of Jacob; that He may instruct us in His ways, and that we may walk in His paths.” For instruction shall come forth from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Micah 4:1-2)

In that day – declares the Lord – I will assemble the lame [sheep] and will gather the outcast and those I have treated harshly; and I will turn the lame into a remnant and the expelled into a populous nation. And the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion now and for evermore. (Micah 4:6-7)

“Tzefaniah – Zephaniah”

At that time I will make [an end] of all who afflicted you. And I will rescue the lame [sheep] and gather the strayed; and I will exchange their disgrace for fame and renown in all the earth. At that time I will gather you, and at [that] time I will bring you [home]; for I will make you renowned and famous among all the peoples on earth, when I restore your fortunes before their very eyes. (Zephaniah 3:19-20)

“Zechariah”

Thus said the Lord of Hosts: I will rescue My people from the lands of the east and from the lands of the west, and I will bring them home to dwell in Jerusalem. They shall be My people, and I will be their God – in truth and sincerity. (Zechariah 8:7-8)

Thus said the Lord of Hosts: Peoples and the inhabitants of many cities shall yet come – the inhabitants of one shall go to the other and say, “Let us go and entreat the favor of the Lord, let us seek the Lord of Hosts; I will go, too.” The many peoples and the multitude of nations shall come to seek the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the Lord. Thus said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, ten men from nations of every tongue will take hold – they will take hold of every Jew by a corner of his cloak and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” (Zechariah 8:20-23)

I will whistle to them and gather them, for I will redeem them; they shall increase and continue increasing. For though I sowed them among the nations, in the distant places they shall remember Me, they shall escape with their children and shall return. I will bring them back from the land of Egypt and gather them from Assyria; and I will bring them to the lands of Gilead and Lebanon, and even they shall not suffice for them. A hemmed in force shall pass over the sea and shall stir up waves in the sea; and all the deeps of the Nile shall dry up. Down shall come the pride of Assyria, and the scepter of Egypt shall pass away. But I will make them mighty through the Lord, and they shall march proudly in His name – declares the Lord. (Zechariah 10:8-12)
