They will inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it,
    saying, ‘Come, and join yourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant
    that will not be forgotten.’
My people have been lost sheep.
    Their shepherds have caused them to go astray.
They have turned them away on the mountains.
    They have gone from mountain to hill.
    They have forgotten their resting place.
All who found them have devoured them.
    Their adversaries said, ‘We are not guilty,
because they have sinned against Yahweh,
    the habitation of righteousness,
    even Yahweh, the hope of their fathers.’

for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
    the Lord, the hope(K) of their ancestors.’
