4:6 “In that day,” says the Lord, “I will gather the lame,
and assemble the outcasts whom I injured. 1
3:19 Look, at that time I will deal with those who mistreated you.
I will rescue the lame sheep 2
and gather together the scattered sheep.
I will take away their humiliation
and make the whole earth admire and respect them. 3
1 sn The exiles of the nation are compared to lame and injured sheep.
2 tn The word “sheep” is supplied for clarification. As in Mic 4:6-7, the exiles are here pictured as injured and scattered sheep whom the divine shepherd rescues from danger.
3 tn Heb “I will make them into praise and a name, in all the earth, their shame.” The present translation assumes that “their shame” specifies “them” and that “name” stands here for a good reputation.
