18 The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,

“I punished the king of Assyria.
    In the same way, I will punish
    the king of Babylon and his land.
19 But I will bring Israel back to their own grasslands.
    I will feed them on Mount Carmel and in Bashan.
I will satisfy their hunger
    on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
20 The days are coming,”
    announces the Lord.
“At that time people will search for Israel’s guilt.

They will search for Judah’s sins.
    But they will not find any.
    That is because I will forgive the people I have spared.

20 In those days, at that time,”

and for the sins(H) of Judah,
    but none will be found,
    for I will forgive(I) the remnant(J) I spare.
