3. For out of the north there comes up a nation against her,which will make her land desolate,and no one will dwell in it.They will wander away;they will depart,both man and beast.
4. In those days and at that time,says the Lord,the sons of Israel will come,they and the children of Judah together.They will go along weeping as they go,and seek the Lord their God.
5. They will ask for the way to Zionwith their faces in its direction.They will come that they may join themselves to the Lordin a perpetual covenantthat will not be forgotten.
6. My people have been lost sheep.Their shepherds have caused them to go astray;they have turned them away on the mountains.They have gone from mountain to hilland have forgotten their resting place.
