and I will bring you to Zion:
003:015 and I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall
feed you with knowledge and understanding.
003:016 It shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased
in the land, in those days, says Yahweh, they shall say no more,
The ark of the covenant of Yahweh; neither shall it come to mind;
neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it;
neither shall it be made any more.
003:017 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Yahweh;
and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name
of Yahweh, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more
after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
003:018 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house
of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land

to your fathers.
003:019 But I said, How I will put you among the children, and give
you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies

for we have sinned against Yahweh our God, we and our fathers,
