Jeremiah 50:4-7

English Standard Version

^4 (A)“In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, ^(B)the people of Israel and the people of Judah shall come together, ^(C)weeping as they come, and they ^(D)shall seek the Lord their God. ^5 (E)They shall ask the way to Zion, with faces turned toward it, ^(F)saying, ‘Come, let us join ourselves to the Lord in an ^(G)everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.’

^6 (H)“My people have been lost sheep. ^(I)Their shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains. From mountain to hill they have gone. They have forgotten their fold. ⁷ All who found them have devoured them, ^(J)and their enemies have said, ‘We are not guilty, for ^(K)they have sinned against the Lord, ^(L)their habitation of righteousness, the Lord, ^(M)the hope of their fathers.’
