19 I will restore Israel to her pastures,
    and she will graze on Carmel and in Bashan;
on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead
    her hunger will be satisfied.
20 In those days, and at that time,
    says the Lord,
you will search for evidence of the iniquity of Israel,
    but there will be none,
and for the sins of Judah,
    but these will no longer be found,
for I will pardon the remnant
    of those that I have preserved.
21 Attack the land of Merathaim[a]
    and the inhabitants of Pekod.
Put them to the sword and destroy them;
    do all I have commanded you, says the Lord.
