Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
Hear ... O ye nations ... He that scattered Israel will gather him. The tidings of God's interposition in behalf of Israel will arrest the attention of even the uttermost Gentile nations.
He that scattered will gather - He who scattered knows where to find Israel; He who smote can also heal.
And keep him - He not only will gather, but also will keep safely to the end (John 13:1; John 17:11).
Shepherd - (Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:12-14, "As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will deliver them out of all ... ").
