In those days, and at that time,”
    declares the Lord,
“the people of Israel will come together
    with the people of Judah.
They’ll be weeping as they travel along,
    and they’ll be seeking the Lord their God.
They’ll ask the way to Zion,
    turning their faces in that direction.
They’ll come[a] and join themselves to the Lord
    in an everlasting covenant that won’t be forgotten.
My people have become lost sheep.
    Their shepherds have led them astray,
        turning them toward the mountains.
They go from mountain to hill.
    They have forgotten their resting place.
