Look up, return value

[Katerinia]

i have a list of job codes in Sheet 1 column V that need to be updated with
new codes listed in Sheet 2 column B.

Sheet 2 column A contains the old job code, column b the new one.

How do I reference on Sheet 1 look at column v, find the matching job code
in Sheet 2 column A and return the value in Sheet 2 Column B.
