Maar Ek sal hulle gaan soek en hulle veilig terugbring huis toe. Ek bring hulle terug na hulle eie land toe, na Israel. Ek gaan haal hulle tussen die ander volke uit waar hulle as gevangenes woon. Dan sal Ek vir hulle genoeg kos gee. Hulle sal op die heuwels wei en by die riviere water drink. Hulle sal veilig wees omdat daar oral mense sal wees wat hulle beskerm.
