Jeremiah 50:5-7
The Message
Jeremiah 50:5-7
The Message
4-5 “In those days, at that time”—God’s Decree—
“the people of Israel will come,
And the people of Judah with them.
Walking and weeping, they’ll seek me, their God.
They’ll ask directions to Zion
and set their faces toward Zion.
They’ll come and hold tight to God,
bound in a covenant eternal they’ll never forget.
6-7 “My people were lost sheep.
Their shepherds led them astray.
They abandoned them in the mountains
where they wandered aimless through the hills.
They lost track of home,
couldn’t remember where they came from.
Everyone who met them took advantage of them.
Their enemies had no qualms:
‘Fair game,’ they said. ‘They walked out on God.
They abandoned the True Pasture, the hope of their parents.’
Jeremiah 50:5-7
New International Version
Jeremiah 50:5-7
New International Version
5 They will ask the way(A) to Zion
and turn their faces toward it.
They will come(B) and bind themselves to the Lord
in an everlasting covenant(C)
that will not be forgotten.
6 “My people have been lost sheep;(D)
their shepherds(E) have led them astray(F)
and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill(G)
and forgot their own resting place.(H)
7 Whoever found them devoured(I) them;
their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,(J)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
the Lord, the hope(K) of their ancestors.’
