5. They shall ask for Zion,seeking out the way.“Come, let us join ourselves to the Lordin an everlasting covenant, never to be forgotten.”
6. Lost sheep were my people,their shepherds misled them,leading them astray on the mountains;From mountain to hill they wandered,forgetting their fold.
7. Whoever happened upon them devoured them;their enemies said, “We are not guilty,Because they sinned against the Lord,the abode of justice, the hope of their ancestors.”
