Jeremiah 50:1-8

1The wordH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 concerningH413 1BabylonH894, the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, throughH3027 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030:2“2DeclareH5046 and proclaimH8085 among the nationsH1471. ProclaimH8085 it and 3liftH5375 up a standardH5251. Do not concealH3582 it but sayH559, ‘4BabylonH894 has been capturedH3920, 5BelH1078 has beenH954 putH954 to shameH954, 6MardukH4781 has beenH2865 7shatteredH2865; Her 8imagesH6091 have beenH954 putH954 to shameH954, her idolsH1544 have beenH2865 shatteredH2865.’ 3For a nationH1471 has comeH5927 up againstH5921 her out of the 9northH6828; it will makeH7896 her landH776 10an objectH8047 of horrorH8047, and there will be 11noH3808 inhabitantH3427 in it. BothH4480 manH120 and beastH929 have wanderedH5110 off, they have goneH1980 away!

4“In thoseH1992 daysH3117 and at that timeH6256,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 will comeH935, both they and the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 12as wellH3164; they will goH1980 along 13weepingH1058 as they goH1980, and it will be 14the LordH3068 their GodH430 they will seekH1245. 5They will 15askH7592 for the wayH1870 to ZionH6726, turning their facesH6440 16in its directionH2008; 17they 18will comeH935 that they may joinH3867 themselves to the LordH3068 in an 19everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 that will not be forgottenH7911.

6“My peopleH5971 have becomeH1961 20lostH6 sheepH6629; 21Their shepherdsH7462 have ledH8582 them astrayH8582. They have made them turnH7725 asideH7725 on the 22mountainsH2022; They have goneH1980 along from mountainH2022 to hillH1389 And have forgottenH7911 their 23restingH7258 placeH7258.7AllH3605 who cameH4672 upon them have devouredH398 them; And their adversariesH6862 have saidH559, ‘24We are not guiltyH816, InasmuchH8478H834 as they have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068 who is the 25habitationH5116 of righteousnessH6664, Even the LordH3068, the 26hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.’

8“WanderH5110 away from the 27midstH8432 of BabylonH894 And 28goH3318 forthH3318 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; Be also like maleH6260 goatsH6260 29at the headH6440 of the flockH6629.
