Jeremiah 50:4-10
Lexham English Bible
4 In those days and in that time,’” declares[a] Yahweh,
“the people[b] of Israel will come,
they and the people[c] of Judah together.
Weeping as they go,[d] they will go,
and Yahweh their God they will seek.
5 They will ask the way to Zion,
turning their faces there.
They will come and join themselves to Yahweh
by an everlasting covenant[e] that will not be forgotten.
6 My people have become lost sheep,
their shepherds have caused them to go astray.
They led them away to the mountains.
From mountain to hill they have gone,
they have forgotten their resting place.
7 All those who found them have devoured them.
And their foes have said, ‘We are not guilty,
because[f] they have sinned against Yahweh, the true pasture,[g]
even Yahweh, the hope of their ancestors.’[h]
8 Flee from the midst of Babylon,
and from the land of the Chaldeans.
Go out and be like he-goats
before[i] the flock.
9 For look, I am going to stir up,
and I am going to bring against Babylon
a contingent of great nations
from the land of the north.
And they will draw up a battle formation against her,
from there she will be captured.
Their arrows are like a warrior who has achieved success,
he does not return without success.
10 And Chaldea will be as booty,
all those who plunder her will be satisfied,” declares[j] Yahweh.

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.
