The lost flock seeks Zion

4In those days and at that time, declares Yahweh, the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together. Going and weeping, they will go, and they will seek Yahweh their God.

5They will ask the way to Zion, with their faces turned toward it: ‘Come, let us join ourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.’

6My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.

7All who found them devoured them, and their adversaries said, “We are not guilty, because they sinned against Yahweh, the habitation of righteousness, the hope of their fathers—Yahweh.”
