Jeremiah 50:7-9

New Century Version

⁷Whoever saw my people hurt them.
And those enemies said, ‘We did nothing wrong.
Those people sinned against the Lord, their true resting place,
the God their fathers trusted.’

⁸“Run away from Babylon,
    and leave the land of the Babylonians.
    Be like the goats that lead the flock.
⁹I will soon bring against Babylon
    many great nations from the north.
They will take their places for war against it,
    and it will be captured by people from the north.
Their arrows are like trained soldiers
    who do not return from war with empty hands.
