“My people have been like lost sheep.
    Their ·leaders [L shepherds] have led them ·in the wrong way [astray]
and made them wander around in the mountains and hills.
    They forgot where their ·resting place [fold] was [Ps. 23].
Whoever ·saw [L found] my people ·hurt [L devoured] them.
    And those ·enemies [foes] said, ‘We ·did nothing wrong [are not guilty].
Those people sinned against the Lord, their ·true [L righteous] ·resting place [fold],
    the God their fathers ·trusted [hoped in].’

“·Run away [Flee] from Babylon,
    and leave the land of the ·Babylonians [L Chaldeans].
    Be like the goats that lead the flock.
