Jeremiah 50:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ They shall ask the way to Zion, with faces turned towards it, and they shall come and join^[a] themselves to the Lord by an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.

⁶ My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains; from mountain to hill they have gone, they have forgotten their fold. ⁷ All who found them have devoured them, and their enemies have said, ‘We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the Lord, the true pasture, the Lord, the hope of their ancestors.’
