For a nation will come up against her from the north.
It will make her land as a horror,
    and an inhabitant will not be in her.
From humans[a] to animals[b] they all will wander off.
    They will go away.
In those days and in that time,’” declares[c] Yahweh,
    “the people[d] of Israel will come,
    they and the people[e] of Judah together.
Weeping as they go,[f] they will go,
    and Yahweh their God they will seek.
They will ask the way to Zion,
    turning their faces there.
They will come and join themselves to Yahweh
    by an everlasting covenant[g] that will not be forgotten.
