Introduction

The people of Israel and the people of Judah shall come together, weeping as they come, and they shall seek the Lord their God. They shall ask the way to Zion, with fates as turned toward it, saying, Come, let us join ourselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten. From there she shall be taken, their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed. Chaldea shall be plundered, all who plunder her shall be sated,. Though you rejoice, though you exalt, oh plunderers of my heritage, though you frolic like a heifer in the pasture, and nay like stallions
