Jeremiah 50:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ “My people have been like lost sheep.
    Their shepherds led them the wrong way
and caused them to wander away into the mountains and hills.
    They forgot where their resting place was.
⁷ They were attacked by all who saw them.
    And their attackers said,
‘We were not wrong to attack them
    because they sinned against the Lord.
They should have stayed close to him, their true resting place.
    The Lord is the one their fathers trusted in.’

⁸ “Run away from Babylon.
    Leave the land of the Babylonians.
    Be like the goats that lead the flock.
