A nation from the north
    has risen up against her.
It will decimate her land,
    and no one will live in it.
        Every living thing will flee.
In those days and at that time,
        declares the Lord,
    the people of Israel and Judah
        will come out of Babylon[a] together;
    with weeping they will leave
        as they seek the Lord their God.
They will search for Zion,
    turning their faces toward it.
They will come[b] and
    unite with the Lord,
    in an everlasting covenant
        that will never be forgotten.
