Draw me; we will run after You. The King has brought me into His chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in You; we will remember Your love more than wine; the upright ones love You.
Hearing I have heard Ephraim moaning over himself, saying, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bull calf not trained . Turn me back, and I shall be turned; for You are Jehovah my God.
My people are lost sheep, their shepherd has led them astray; they turned them back on the mountains, they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
I will seek the lost, and I will return the banished. And I will bind up the broken, and I will make the weak strong. But I will destroy the fat and the strong, I will feed them with judgment.
My sheep strayed through all the mountains and on every high hill. And My sheep were scattered on all the face of the earth, and none searched, and none sought for them.
My people are cut off for lack of knowledge; because you rejected the knowledge, I also rejected you from being priest to Me. Since you have forgotten the Law of your God, I will forget your sons, even I.
