Jeremiah 50:4-10
Christian Standard Bible
4 In those days and at that time—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
the Israelites and Judeans will come together,(A)
weeping as they come,
and will seek the Lord their God.(B)
5 They will ask about Zion,
turning their faces to this road.
They will come and join themselves[a] to the Lord
in a permanent covenant(C) that will never be forgotten.
6 My people were lost sheep;(D)
their shepherds led them astray,(E)
guiding them the wrong way in the mountains.(F)
They wandered from mountain to hill;
they forgot their resting place.
7 Whoever found them devoured them.
Their adversaries said, “We’re not guilty;
instead, they have sinned against the Lord,
their righteous grazing land,(G)
the hope of their ancestors,(H) the Lord.”
8 Escape from Babylon;(I)
depart from the Chaldeans’ land.
Be like the rams that lead the flock.
9 For I will soon stir up and bring against Babylon(J)
an assembly of great nations from the north country.
They will line up in battle formation against her;(K)
from there she will be captured.
Their arrows will be like a skilled[b] warrior
who does not return empty-handed.
10 The Chaldeans will become plunder;
all Babylon’s plunderers will be fully satisfied.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
