⁶ My people have been lost sheep.
    Their shepherds have caused them to go astray;
they have turned them away on the mountains.
    They have gone from mountain to hill
    and have forgotten their resting place.
⁷ All who found them have devoured them,
    and their adversaries said, “We are not guilty,
because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice,
    even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.”

⁸ Wander away out of the midst of Babylon,
    and go out of the land of the Chaldeans,
    and be as the male goats before the flocks.
