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.
Jeremiah 50:7-9
New International Version
7 Whoever found them devoured(A) them;
their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,(B)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
the Lord, the hope(C) of their ancestors.’
8 “Flee(D) out of Babylon;(E)
leave the land of the Babylonians,
and be like the goats that lead the flock.
9 For I will stir(F) up and bring against Babylon
an alliance of great nations(G) from the land of the north.(H)
They will take up their positions against her,
and from the north she will be captured.(I)
Their arrows(J) will be like skilled warriors
who do not return empty-handed.
