They will ask for the way to Zion
    with their faces in its direction.
They will come that they may join themselves to the Lord
    in a perpetual covenant
    that will not be forgotten.

My people have been lost sheep.
    Their shepherds have caused them to go astray;
they have turned them away on the mountains.
    They have gone from mountain to hill
    and have forgotten their resting place.
All who found them have devoured them,
    and their adversaries said, “We are not guilty,
because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice,
    even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.”

    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.’
