Jeremiah 50:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵Those people will ask how to go to Jerusalem.
    They will start to go in that direction.
They will come and join themselves to the Lord.
    They will make an agreement that will last forever.
    It will be an agreement that will never be forgotten.

⁶“My people have been like lost sheep.
    Their leaders have led them in the wrong way.
Their leaders made them wander around in the mountains and hills.
    They forgot where their resting place was.
⁷Whoever found my people hurt them.
    And those enemies said, ‘We did nothing wrong.
Those people sinned against the Lord, their true resting place.
    He was the God their fathers trusted.’
