“My people have become (A)lost sheep;
(B)Their shepherds have led them astray.
They have made them turn away on the (C)mountains;
They have gone along from mountain to hill
And have forgotten their (D)resting place.

And their adversaries have said, ‘(E)We are not guilty,
Inasmuch as they have sinned against Yahweh, who is the (F)abode of righteousness,
Even Yahweh, the (G)hope of their fathers.’

And [a]go forth from the land of the Chaldeans;
Be also like male goats [b]at the head of the flock.
