A nation from the north will attack Babylon.
They will destroy the whole land.
People and animals will all run away,
so that nobody lives there.’

The Lord says, ‘When that happens,

the people of Israel and Judah will return to their land.
They will weep because of their sins.
They will want to worship the Lord their God.
They will ask people to show them the way to Zion.
They will travel in that direction.
They will promise to serve the Lord.
They will make a covenant with him that will continue for ever.
Nobody will ever forget that covenant.[a]
