Jeremiah 50:7-9
International Children’s Bible
7 Whoever found my people hurt them.
And those enemies said, ‘We did nothing wrong.
Those people sinned against the Lord, their true resting place.
He was the God their fathers trusted.’
8 “Run away from Babylon.
Leave the land of the Babylonians.
Be like the goats that lead the flock.
9 I will bring against Babylon
many nations from the north.
This group of nations will take their places for war against Babylon.
Babylon will be captured by people from the north.
Their arrows are like trained soldiers
who do not return 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.
