Jeremiah 50:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ My people, you are lost sheep
abandoned in the mountains
    by their shepherds.
You don't even remember
    your resting place.
⁷ I am your true pastureland,
the one who gave hope
    to your ancestors.
But you abandoned me,
so when your enemies found you,
    they felt no guilt
    as they gobbled you up.

^8 (A) Escape from Babylonia,
    my people.
Get out of that country!
    Don't wait for anyone else.
