Jeremiah 50:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ “My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains; from mountain to hill they have gone, they have forgotten their fold. ⁷ All who found them have devoured them, and their enemies have said, ‘We are not guilty, for they have sinned against the Lord, their true habitation, the Lord, the hope of their fathers.’

⁸ “Flee from the midst of Babylon, and go out of the land of the Chalde′ans, and be as he-goats before the flock.
