4 “In those days and at that time,” declares Yahweh, “the sons of Israel will come, both they and the sons of Judah aas well; they will go along bweeping as they go, and it will be cYahweh their God they will seek. 5 They will aask for the way to Zion—turning their faces in its direction and saying, ‘Come!’—in order that they may join themselves to Yahweh in an beverlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.
6 “My people have become alost sheep;
bTheir shepherds have led them astray.
They have made them turn away on the cmountains;
They have gone along from mountain to hill
And have forgotten their dresting place.
7 All who came out against them have devoured them;
And their adversaries have said, ‘aWe are not guilty,
Inasmuch as they have sinned against Yahweh, who is the babode of righteousness,
Even Yahweh, the chope of their fathers.’
8 “Wander away from the amidst of Babylon
And go forth from the land of the Chaldeans;
Be also like male goats at the head of the flock.
