“I will bring you out
From the people.
I will gather you
Out of the countries,
Where you are scattered.
I will bring you
With a mighty hand,
With an outstretched arm,
With wrath poured out.
I will bring you
Into the wilderness
Of the people.
There I will enter
Into judgment
With you
Face to face.”
The kingship of Yahweh, as just mentioned, included a mighty hand, an outstretched hand, and anger poured out. Yahweh was going to gather the Israelites from wherever they had been scattered. He was going to bring them into a new wilderness of all the people. There he was going to enter into personal judgment with them face to face.
