Jeremiah 50:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 For a nation from the north will come against her;(A)
it will make her land desolate.
No one will be living in it—
both man and beast will escape.[a]
4 In those days and at that time—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
the Israelites and Judeans will come together,
weeping as they come,
and will seek the Lord their God.(B)
5 They will ask about Zion,
turning their faces to this road.
They will come and join themselves[b] to the Lord
in an everlasting covenant(C) that will never be forgotten.
