6 “My people have been lost sheep.Their shepherds have led them astray;They have turned them away on the mountains.They have gone from mountain to hill;They have forgotten their resting place.
7 All who found them have devoured them;And their adversaries said, ‘We have not offended,Because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice,The Lord, the hope of their fathers.’
8 “Move from the midst of Babylon,Go out of the land of the Chaldeans;And be like the rams before the flocks.
9 For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against BabylonAn assembly of great nations from the north country,And they shall array themselves against her;From there she shall be captured.Their arrows shall be like those of an expert warrior;None shall return in vain.
10 And Chaldea shall become plunder;All who plunder her shall be satisfied,” says the Lord.
11 “Because you were glad, because you rejoiced,You destroyers of My heritage,Because you have grown fat like a heifer threshing grain,And you bellow like bulls,
12 Your mother shall be deeply ashamed;She who bore you shall be ashamed.Behold, the least of the nations shall be a wilderness,A dry land and a desert.
