Jeremiah 50:2-10
2DeclareH5046 ye among the nationsH1471 and publish, and set up a standardH5251; publish, and conceal not: sayH559, BabylonH894 is takenH3920, BelH1078 is put to shame, Merodach is dismayedH2865; her images are put to shame, her idolsH1544 are dismayedH2865. 3For out of the northH6828 there cometh up a nationH1471 against her, which shall makeH7896 her landH776 desolate, and none shall dwellH3427 therein: they are fled, they are goneH1980, both manH120 and beast. 4In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saith Jehovah, the children of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935, they and the children of JudahH3063 togetherH3162; they shall goH1980 on their way weepingH1058, and shall seekH1245 Jehovah their GodH430. 5They shall inquire concerningH413 ZionH6726 with their facesH6440 thitherward, saying, ComeH935 ye, and joinH3867 yourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenantH1285 that shall not be forgottenH7911.
6My peopleH5971 have beenH1961 lost sheepH6629: their shepherdsH7462 have caused them to goH1980 astrayH8582; they have turned them away on the mountainsH2022; they have goneH1980 from mountainH2022 to hillH2022; they have forgottenH7911 their resting-place. 7All that foundH4672 them have devouredH398 them; and their adversaries saidH559, We are not guiltyH816, because they have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousnessH6664, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathersH1. 8Flee out of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and goH3318 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and beH1961 as the he-goats before the flocksH6629. 9For, lo, I will stirH5782 up and cause to comeH5927 up against BabylonH894 a companyH6951 of greatH1419 nationsH1471 from the northH6828 country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be takenH3920: their arrowsH2671 shall be as of an expert mightyH1368 manH1368; none shall returnH7725 in vain. 10And ChaldeaH3778 shall beH1961 a prey: all that prey upon her shall beH1961 satisfiedH7646, saith Jehovah.
