For a nation comes up against her
out of the land of the north
—it will desolate her land.
No one will dwell there—
they have fled, gone, both man and beast.”

Declaration of Restoration

“In those days and at that time”
—it is a declaration of Adonai
“the children of Israel will come,
together with the children of Judah,
weeping as they come,
and will seek Adonai their God.
They will ask about Zion, the way—
here are their faces! Come!
They will join themselves to Adonai
in an everlasting covenant
that will never be forgotten.[a]
