* "
Israel is a hunted sheep driven away by lions .
First the king of Assyria devoured him ,
and now at last Nebuchadrez '
zar king of Babylon has gnawed his bones .
*
Therefore ,
thus says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel :
Behold ,
I am bringing punishment on the king of Babylon and his land ,
as I punished the king of Assyria .
*
I will restore Israel to his pasture ,
and he shall feed on Carmel and in Bashan ,
and his desire shall be satisfied on the hills of E '
phraim and in Gilead .
*
In those days and in that time ,
says the LORD ,
iniquity shall be sought in Israel ,
and there shall be none ;
and sin in Judah ,
and none shall be found ;
for I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant .
