6. My people, you are lost sheepabandoned by their shepherdsin the mountains.You don't even rememberyour resting place.
7. I am your true pasture land,the one who gave hopeto your ancestors.But you abandoned me,so when your enemies found you,they felt no guiltas they gobbled you up.
8. Escape from Babylonia,my people.Get out of that country!Don't wait for anyone else.
9. In the north I am bringinggreat nations together.They will attack Babylonand capture it.The arrows they shootare like the best soldiers,always finding their target.
10. Babylonia will be conquered,and its enemies will carry offeverything they want.
11. People of Babylonia,you were gladto rob my people.You had a good time,making more noisethan horsesand jumping aroundlike calves threshing grain.
