Jeremiah 50:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ All who found them have devoured them, and their enemies have said, ‘We are not guilty, for they have sinned against the Lord, their true habitation, the Lord, the hope of their fathers.’

⁸ “Flee from the midst of Babylon, and go out of the land of the Chalde′ans, and be as he-goats before the flock. ⁹ For behold, I am stirring up and bringing against Babylon a company of great nations, from the north country; and they shall array themselves against her; from there she shall be taken. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
