19 But I will restore Israel to their pasture;
    they will graze on Carmel and Bashan;
    they will eat their fill
        in the highlands of Ephraim and Gilead.
20 In those days and at that time,
        declares the Lord,
    if one searches for the sin of Israel,
        they will find nothing;
    if one seeks out the wrongdoing of Judah,
        they will look in vain.

        crush those living in Pekod.

        declares the Lord;
    do all I have commanded you.
