Yirmeyahu 50:1-7 ירמיהו נ׳:א׳-ז׳

The word that the Lord spoke against Bavel and against the land of the Kasdim by Yirmeyahu the prophet.

Declare among the nations, and publish, and set up a banner; proclaim, and conceal not: say, Bavel is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodakh is broken in pieces; her idols are put to shame, her images are shattered.

For out of the north comes up a nation against her, who shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell in it: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

In those days, and in that time, says the Lord, the children of Yisra᾽el shall come, they and the children of Yehuda together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God.

They shall ask the way to Żiyyon with their faces towards it, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.

My people has been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.

All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries have said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.
