10 They will walk after the Lord,
    who roars like a lion.
When He roars,
    His children will come trembling from the west.
11 They will come trembling
    like a bird out of Egypt
    and like a dove from the land of Assyria.
And I will let them dwell in their houses,
    says the Lord.

    and is faithful to the Holy One.[a]
