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

“Run away from Babylon,
    and leave the land of the Babylonians.
    Be like the goats that lead the flock.
