With their faces toward it, saying,
‘Come and let us join ourselves to the Lord
In aa perpetual covenant
That will not be forgotten.’
Their shepherds have led them bastray;
They have turned them away on cthe mountains.
They have gone from mountain to hill;
They have forgotten their resting place.
And btheir adversaries said, c‘We have not offended,
Because they have sinned against the Lord, dthe habitation of justice,
The Lord, ethe hope of their fathers.’
Go out of the land of the Chaldeans;
And be like the1 rams before the flocks.
An assembly of great nations from the north country,
And they shall array themselves against her;
From there she shall be captured.
Their arrows shall be like those of1 an expert warrior;
bNone shall return in vain.
You destroyers of My heritage,
Because you have grown fat blike a heifer threshing grain,
And you1 bellow like bulls,
She who bore you shall be ashamed.
Behold, the least of the nations shall be a awilderness,
A dry land and a desert.
She shall not be inhabited,
aBut she shall be wholly desolate.
bEveryone who goes by Babylon shall be horrified
And hiss at all her plagues.
