Jeremiah 50:2-11

Rotherham^{(i) 2} Tell ye among the nations, And let it be heard, And lift ye up a standard, Let it be heard, do not conceal: Say ye––Captured, is Babylon, Confounded, is Bel, Broken in pieces, is Merodach, Confounded, are her images, Broken down, her manufactured gods; ³ For there hath come up against her––a nation out of the North, The same, shall make her land an astonishment, And there shall be none to dwell therein,––Both man and beast, have removed––have gone! ⁴ In those days, and at that time, Declareth Yahweh, Shall the sons of Israel come in, They, and the sons of Judah, together: Weeping as they travel, so shall they journey on, And, Yahweh their God, shall they seek; ⁵ To Zion, shall they ask the way, Hitherward, their faces, Come and let us join ourselves unto Yahweh, In a covenant age–abiding, which shall not be forgotten. ⁶ Wandering sheep, have, my people, been, Their own shepherds, led them astray, On the mountains, they seduced them, From mountain to hill, have they gone, They have forgotten their couching–place. ⁷ All who found them, devoured them, And, their adversaries, said––We shall not be guilty,––Because they have sinned, Against, Yahweh, the pasturage of righteousness, Yea, the hope of their fathers––Yahweh. ⁸ Remove ye out of the midst of Babylon, And, out of the land of the Chaldeans, come ye forth,––And become ye like he–goats before the flock;
⁹ For lo! I, am rousing and bringing up against Babylon, a gathered host of great nations, out of the land of the North, And they shall array themselves against her, From thence, shall she be captured,––His arrows, are as of a hero making childless, None shall return, empty. ¹⁰ So shall the Chaldeans become a spoil,––All her spoilers, shall be satisfied, Declareth Yahweh; ¹¹ Because they used to be glad, Because they used to be uproarious, When plundering mine inheritance,––Because they used to caper about as a heifer at grass, And bellow like bulls.
