4. “In those days and at that time,” declares the Lord,“the people of Israel and Judah will cry as they go togetherto seek the Lord their God.
5. They will ask which road goes to Zion and turn in that direction.They will go there to make a permanent agreement with the Lord.It will not be forgotten.
6. My people have been lost sheep.Their shepherds have led them astray.They wander around on the mountains.They go from mountains to hills.They have forgotten their resting place.
7. Everyone who finds them eats them.Their enemies say, ‘We’re not guilty.They have sinned against the Lord, their true pasture.They have sinned against the Lord, the hope of their ancestors.’
