Context of Jeremiah 31:12

10Nations, hear the word of the Lord, and tell it among the far off coasts and islands! Say, “The one who scattered Israel will gather him. He will watch over him as a shepherd guards his flock, 11for the Lord has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the power of one stronger than he.” They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant with joy because of the Lord’s goodness, because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil, and because of the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer grow weak from hunger. 13Then the young women will rejoice with dancing, while young and old men rejoice together. I will turn their mourning into joy, give them consolation, and bring happiness out of grief. 14I will refresh the priests with an abundance, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness. This is the Lord’s declaration.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12Omit together. The ten tribes are to flow like a river down from Zion‘s height to their own land, there to reap the rich produce of their tillage.
