“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.”
The declaration 'Hear the word of the LORD, O nations' universalizes the restoration narrative. God's role as shepherd 'will keep him, and he will be quiet' conveys protection and peace. Israel's restoration demonstrates to the nations God's sovereignty.
