Jeremiah 50:1-8

1This is the wordH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 throughH3027 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 concerningH413 BabylonH894 andH413 the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778:1

2“AnnounceH5046 and declareH8085 to the nationsH1471;lift upH5375 a bannerH5251 and proclaim itH8085;holdH3582 nothing backH408 when you sayH559,‘BabylonH894 is capturedH3920;BelH1078 is put to shameH954;MardukH4781 is shatteredH2865,her imagesH6091 are disgracedH954,her idolsH1544 are broken in piecesH2865.’

3ForH3588 a nationH1471 from the northH6828 will comeH5927 against herH5921;itH1931 will makeH7896 her landH776 a desolationH8047.No oneH3808 will liveH1961 H3427 in it;both manH120 andH5704 beastH929 will fleeH5110 H1980.”

4“In thoseH1992 daysH3117 and at thatH1931 timeH6256,declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 H1992 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063will comeH935 togetherH3162, weepingH1058 H1980 as they comeH1980,and will seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.5They will askH7592 the wayH1870 to ZionH6726and turn their facesH6440 toward itH2008.They will comeH935 and joinH3867 themselves toH413 the LORDH3068in an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285that will neverH3808 be forgottenH7911.

6My peopleH5971 areH1961 lostH6 sheepH6629;their shepherdsH7462 have led them astrayH8582,causing them to roamH7726 the mountainsH2022.They have wanderedH1980 from mountainH2022 toH413 hillH1389;they have forgottenH7911 their resting placeH7258.7AllH3605 who found themH4672 devoured themH398,and their enemiesH6862 saidH559,‘We are notH3808 guiltyH816,forH8478 they have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, their trueH6664 pastureH5116,the LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.’

8FleeH5110 from the midstH8432 of BabylonH894;departH3318 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778;beH1961 like the he-goatsH6260 that leadH6440 the flockH6629.
