50:4 “When that time comes,” says the Lord,
“the people of Israel and Judah will return to the land together.
They will come back with tears of repentance
as they seek the Lord their God.
50:5 They will ask the way to Zion;
they will turn their faces toward it.
They will come
in a lasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
50:6 “My people have been lost sheep.
Their shepherds
They have wandered around in the mountains.
They have roamed from one mountain and hill to another.
They have forgotten their resting place.
