They’ll ask the way to Zion,
    turning their faces in that direction.
They’ll come[a] and join themselves to the Lord
    in an everlasting covenant that won’t be forgotten.
My people have become lost sheep.
    Their shepherds have led them astray,
        turning them toward the mountains.
They go from mountain to hill.
    They have forgotten their resting place.
All who find them devour them,
    but their enemies say, ‘We’re not guilty,
because they have sinned against
    the Lord, the habitation of righteousness,
        the Lord, the hope of their ancestors.’
