The
word that the
LORD spake against
Babylon and against the
land of the
Chaldeans by Jeremiah the
prophet.

Declare ye among the
nations, and
publish, and set
up a
standard; publish, and
conceal not:
say,
Babylon is
taken,
Bel is
confounded,
Merodach is broken in
pieces; her
idols are
confounded, her
images are broken in
pieces.

For out of the
north there cometh
up a
nation against her, which shall
make her
land desolate, and none shall
dwell therein: they shall
remove, they shall
depart, both
man and
beast.

In those
days, and in that
time, saith the
LORD, the
children of
Israel shall
come, they and the
children of
Judah together, going and
weeping: they shall
go, and
seek the
LORD their
God.

They shall
ask the
way to
Zion with their
faces thitherward, saying,
Come, and let us
join ourselves to the
LORD in a
perpetual covenant that shall not be
forgotten.

My
people hath been
lost sheep: their
shepherds have caused them to go
astray, they have turned them
away on the
mountains: they have
gone from
mountain to
hill, they have
forgotten their
restingplace.

All that
found them have
devoured them: and their
adversaries said, We
offend not, because they have
sinned against the
LORD, the
habitation of
justice, even the
LORD, the
hope of their
fathers.
