They will ask about Zion, the way—
here are their faces! Come!
They will join themselves to Adonai
in an everlasting covenant
that will never be forgotten.[a]
My people have been lost sheep.[b]
Their shepherds led them astray.
Turning around in the mountains,
they went from mountain to hill,
and forgot their resting place.
Everyone finding them devoured them.
Their foes said: ‘We’re not guilty!’
Instead, they sinned against Adonai,
the habitation of justice—
Adonai, the hope of their fathers.”

They will ask the way(A) to Zion
    and turn their faces toward it.
They will come(B) and bind themselves to the Lord
    in an everlasting covenant(C)
    that will not be forgotten.

“My people have been lost sheep;(D)
    their shepherds(E) have led them astray(F)
    and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill(G)
    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.’
