Jeremiah 50:7-9
New King James Version
7 All who found them have (A)devoured them;
And (B)their adversaries said, (C)‘We have not offended,
Because they have sinned against the Lord, (D)the habitation of justice,
The Lord, (E)the hope of their fathers.’
8 “Move(F) from the midst of Babylon,
Go out of the land of the Chaldeans;
And be like the [a]rams before the flocks.
9 (G)For 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 of [b]an expert warrior;
(H)None shall return in vain.

Jeremiah 50:7-9
New International Version
7 Whoever found them devoured(A) them;
their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,(B)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
the Lord, the hope(C) of their ancestors.’
8 “Flee(D) out of Babylon;(E)
leave the land of the Babylonians,
and be like the goats that lead the flock.
9 For I will stir(F) up and bring against Babylon
an alliance of great nations(G) from the land of the north.(H)
They will take up their positions against her,
and from the north she will be captured.(I)
Their arrows(J) will be like skilled warriors
who do not return empty-handed.
