Jeremiah 50:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 This is what the LORD said concerning Babylon and the land of the Babylonians through the prophet Jeremiah:

2 Tell the nations; proclaim it far and wide! Set up a flag; proclaim it far and wide! Hold nothing back; just shout it: "Babylon is captured; Bel is shamed; Marduk is panic-stricken. Her images are shamed; her idols are panic-stricken."

3 A nation from the north has risen up against her. It will decimate her land, and no one will live in it. Every living thing will flee.

4 In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, the people of Israel and Judah will come out of Babylon together; with weeping they will leave as they seek the LORD their God.

5 They will search for Zion, turning their faces toward it. They will come and unite with the LORD, in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.

6 My people were lost sheep; their shepherds led them astray; they deserted them on the mountains, where they wandered off among the hills, forgetting their resting place.
