Jeremiah 50:4-10
New International Version
4 “In those days, at that time,”
declares the Lord,
“the people of Israel and the people of Judah together(A)
will go in tears(B) to seek(C) the Lord their God.
5 They will ask the way(D) to Zion
and turn their faces toward it.
They will come(E) and bind themselves to the Lord
in an everlasting covenant(F)
that will not be forgotten.
6 “My people have been lost sheep;(G)
their shepherds(H) have led them astray(I)
and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill(J)
and forgot their own resting place.(K)
7 Whoever found them devoured(L) them;
their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,(M)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
the Lord, the hope(N) of their ancestors.’
8 “Flee(O) out of Babylon;(P)
leave the land of the Babylonians,
and be like the goats that lead the flock.
9 For I will stir(Q) up and bring against Babylon
an alliance of great nations(R) from the land of the north.(S)
They will take up their positions against her,
and from the north she will be captured.(T)
Their arrows(U) will be like skilled warriors
who do not return empty-handed.
10 So Babylonia[a] will be plundered;(V)
all who plunder her will have their fill,”
declares the Lord.
