They will ask the way to Tziyon;
and, turning their faces toward it, will say,
‘Come, join yourselves to Adonai
by an everlasting covenant never to be forgotten.’
My people have been lost sheep.
My shepherds made them go astray,
turning them loose in the mountains.
As they wandered from mountain to hill,
they lost track of where their home is.
Everyone finding them ate them up.
Their enemies said, ‘We aren’t guilty;
for they sinned against Adonai,
the resting place of justice;
yes, against Adonai, their ancestors’ hope.’

    and turn their faces toward it.
They will come(B) and bind themselves to the Lord

“My people have been lost sheep;(D)
    their shepherds(E) have led them astray(F)
    and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill(G)
    and forgot their own resting place.(H)
Whoever found them devoured(I) them;
    their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,(J)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
    the Lord, the hope(K) of their ancestors.’
