Israel and Judah Will Return to Their Land

The Lord said:

People of Israel and Judah,
when these things happen
    you will weep, and together
you will return to your land
and worship me,
    the Lord your God.
You will ask the way to Zion
and then come and join with me
    in making an agreement
    you won't break or forget.

My people, you are lost sheep
abandoned in the mountains
    by their shepherds.
You don't even remember
    your resting place.

    and turn their faces toward it.
They will come(E) and bind themselves to the Lord
    in an everlasting covenant(F)
    that will not be forgotten.

    and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill(J)
    and forgot their own resting place.(K)
