Jeremiah 50:6

Jeremiah 50:6

4 “In those days and in that time,” says the Lord,
“The children of Israel shall come,
^aThey and the children of Judah together;
^bWith continual weeping they shall come,
^cAnd seek the Lord their God.

5 They shall ask the way to Zion,
With their faces toward it, saying,
‘Come and let us join ourselves to the Lord
In ^aa perpetual covenant
That will not be forgotten.’

6 “My people have been ^alost sheep.
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.

7 All who found them have ^adevoured them;
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.’

8 “Move^a from the midst of Babylon,
Go out of the land of the Chaldeans;
And be like the¹ rams before the flocks.

9 ^aFor behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon
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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 50:5

Jeremiah 50:7 >>

Their shepherds - Their civil and ecclesiastical governors have been a cause of it. The former by their wicked commands and example; the latter by example as well as doctrine. Turned them - To offer sacrifices unto idols. From mountain - From one idolatry to another. Forgotten - They have forgotten me.
