Jeremiah 50:4-7

New International Version

⁴ “In those days, at that time,”
    declares the Lord,
“the people of Israel and the people of Judah together^(A)
    will go in tears^(B) to seek^(C) the Lord their God.
⁵ They will ask the way^(D) to Zion
    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.

⁶ “My people have been lost sheep;^(G)
    their shepherds^(H) have led them astray^(I)
    and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill^(J)
    and forgot their own resting place.^(K)
7 Whoever found them devoured^(L) them;
    their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,^(M)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
    the Lord, the hope^(N) of their ancestors.’
