Jeremiah 50:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 50:8

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.

10 And Chaldea shall become plunder;
^aAll who plunder her shall be satisfied,” says the Lord.

11 “Because^a you were glad, because you rejoiced,
You destroyers of My heritage,
Because you have grown fat ^blike a heifer threshing grain,
And you¹ bellow like bulls,

12 Your mother shall be deeply ashamed;
She who bore you shall be ashamed.
Behold, the least of the nations shall be a ^awilderness,
A dry land and a desert.
