Jeremiah 50:6

“My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds ¹  have allow them to go astray. They have wandered around in the mountains. They have roamed from one mountain and hill to another. ²  They have forgotten their resting place.

Ps 23:2; Ps 32:7; Ps 90:1; Ps 91:1; Ps 116:7; Ps 119:176; So 1:7,8; Isa 30:15; Isa 32:2; Isa 53:6; Isa 56:10-12; Jer 2:20; Jer 2:32; Jer 3:6,23; Jer 10:21; Jer 23:11-15; Jer 50:17; Eze 34:4-12; Eze 34:6; Eze 34:14,25-28; Zec 11:4-9; Mt 9:36; Mt 10:6; Mt 15:24; Mt 18:11-13; Lu 15:4-7; 1Pe 2:25

¹ sn The shepherds are the priests, prophets, and leaders who have led Israel into idolatry (2:8).

² sn The allusion here, if it is not merely a part of the metaphor of the wandering sheep, is to the worship of the false gods on the high hills (2:20, 3:2).
