6. Lost sheep were my people,their shepherds misled them,leading them astray on the mountains;From mountain to hill they wandered,forgetting their fold.
7. Whoever happened upon them devoured them;their enemies said, “We are not guilty,Because they sinned against the Lord,the abode of justice, the hope of their ancestors.”
8. Flee from the midst of Babylon,leave the land of the Chaldeans,be like rams at the head of the flock.
9. See, I am stirring up against Babylona band of great nations from the land of the north;They are arrayed against her,from there she shall be taken.Their arrows are like the arrows of a skilled warriorwho never returns empty-handed.
