Jeremiah 50:7-9
Expanded Bible
7 Whoever ·saw [L found] my people ·hurt [L devoured] them.
And those ·enemies [foes] said, ‘We ·did nothing wrong [are not guilty].
Those people sinned against the Lord, their ·true [L righteous] ·resting place [fold],
the God their fathers ·trusted [hoped in].’
8 “·Run away [Flee] from Babylon,
and leave the land of the ·Babylonians [L Chaldeans].
Be like the goats that lead the flock.
9 I will soon ·arouse [L stir up] and bring against Babylon
·many great nations [a large assembly of nations] from the north [C led by Persia].
They will take their places for war against it,
and it will be captured ·by people from the north [L from there].
Their arrows are like trained soldiers
who do not return [C from war] with empty hands.
