and take care of his flock, the people of Judah.

He'll revive their spirits,

   make them proud to be on God's side.

God will use them in his work of rebuilding,

   use them as foundations and pillars,

Use them as tools and instruments,

   use them to oversee his work.

They'll be a workforce to be proud of, working as one,

   their heads held high, striding through swamps and mud,

Courageous and vigorous because God is with them,

   undeterred by the world's thugs.

   and they'll live my way." God says so!
