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.

The verse 6 is found in chapter 50 of Jeremiah. Babylon, the instrument previously used to discipline Judah, now receives a lengthy oracle of judgment. Israel and Judah will be sought and will return together to Zion, while Babylon’s sins lead to its downfall. The reversal is central: the empire that appeared permanent becomes an object of judgment.

Denn mein Volk ist wie eine verlorene Herde; ihre Hirten haben sie verführt und auf den Bergen in der Irre gehen lassen, daß sie von den Bergen auf die Hügel gegangen sind und ihre Hürden vergessen haben.
Ovejas perdidas fueron mi pueblo: sus pastores las hicieron errar, por los montes las descarriaron: anduvieron de monte en collado, olvidáronse de sus majadas.
Mi pueblo ha sido ovejas perdidas; sus pastores las han extraviado, haciéndolas vagar por los montes. Han ido de monte en colina y han olvidado su lugar de descanso.
Mon peuple était un troupeau de brebis perdues; Leurs bergers les égaraient, les faisaient errer par les montagnes; Elles allaient des montagnes sur les collines, Oubliant leur bercail.
Il mio popolo è stato a guisa di pecore smarrite; i lor pastori le hanno fatte andare errando, le han traviate su per li monti; sono andate di monte in colle, hanno dimenticata la lor mandra.
Ovelhas perdidas têm sido o meu povo, os seus pastores as fizeram errar, para os montes as desviaram; de monte para outeiro andaram, esqueceram-se do lugar do seu repouso.
我的百姓成了失喪的羊,牧人使他們走迷了路,轉入叢山之間。他們從大山走到小山,竟忘了自己安歇之處。
