God Will Restore the Exiles to Israel

11:10He will roar like a lion,

and they will follow the Lord;

when he roars,

his children will come trembling22 from the west.

11:11They will return in fear and trembling23

like birds from Egypt,

like doves from Assyria,

and I will settle them in their homes,” declares the Lord.

Footnotes

  1. 22 When the verb חָרַד (kharad, “to tremble”) is used with prepositions of direction, it denotes “to go or come trembling” ( 353 חָרַד 4; e.g., Gen 42:28; 1 Sam 13:7; 16:4; 21:2; Hos 11:10, 11). Thus, the phrase מִיָּם … וְיֶחֶרְדוּ (véyekherdu … miyyam) means “to come trembling from the west.” Cf. “shall come frightened from the west.”
  2. 23 For the meaning of חָרַד (harad, “to tremble”) with prepositions of direction, see 11:10 above.
