## Jeremiah 50:9-16 in Context (Verses 6–19 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/6) My people hath 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 restingplace.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/7) All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/8) Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/9) ¶ For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows *shall be* as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/10) And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/11) Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;**
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/12) Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations *shall be* a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/13) Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/14) Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/15) Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it *is* the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/16) Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/17) ¶ Israel *is* a scattered sheep; the lions have driven *him* away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/18) Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/19) And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
