Jeremiah 50:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 But I will bring Israel back to its pasture,
to feed on Carmel and Bashan,
And on Mount Ephraim and Gilead,
until they have their fill.(A)
20 In those days, at that time—oracle of the Lord:
The guilt of Israel may be sought, but it no longer exists,
the sin of Judah, but it can no longer be found;
for I will forgive the remnant I preserve.(B)
21 Attack the land of Merathaim,
and those who live in Pekod;[a]
Slaughter and put them under the ban—oracle of the Lord—
do all I have commanded you.

declares the Lord,
“search will be made for Israel’s guilt,
but there will be none,(E)

but none will be found,
for I will forgive(G) the remnant(H) I spare.
