In those days and at that time—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
the Israelites and Judeans will come together,(A)
weeping as they come,
and will seek the Lord their God.(B)
They will ask about Zion,
turning their faces to this road.
They will come and join themselves[a] to the Lord
in a permanent covenant(C) that will never be forgotten.

My people were lost sheep;(D)
their shepherds led them astray,(E)
guiding them the wrong way in the mountains.(F)
They wandered from mountain to hill;
they forgot their resting place.
