Jeremiah 50:4-10
Legacy Standard Bible
4 “In those days and at that time,” declares Yahweh, “the sons of Israel will come, both they and the sons of Judah (A)as well; they will go along (B)weeping as they go, and it will be (C)Yahweh their God they will seek. 5 They will (D)ask for the way to Zion—turning their faces [a]in its direction and saying, ‘[b]Come!’—in order that they may join themselves to Yahweh in an (E)everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.
6 “My people have become (F)lost sheep;
(G)Their shepherds have led them astray.
They have made them turn away on the (H)mountains;
They have gone along from mountain to hill
And have forgotten their (I)resting place.
7 All who came out against them have devoured them;
And their adversaries have said, ‘(J)We are not guilty,
Inasmuch as they have sinned against Yahweh, who is the (K)abode of righteousness,
Even Yahweh, the (L)hope of their fathers.’
8 “Wander away from the (M)midst of Babylon
And [c]go forth from the land of the Chaldeans;
Be also like male goats [d]at the head of the flock.
9 For behold, I am going to (N)arouse and bring up against Babylon
An assembly of great nations from the land of the north,
And they will arrange their battle lines against her;
From there she will be taken captive.
Their arrows will be like [e]a warrior who makes one childless
Who does not return empty-handed.
10 [f](O)Chaldea will become spoil;
All who take her spoil will have enough,” declares Yahweh.
