Jeremiah 23:1-2 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. “How terrible it will be for the leaders of Judah. They are destroying my people. They are making them run in all directions,” says the Lord.

2. They are responsible for the people. And the Lord, the God of Israel, says to them: “You have made my people run away in all directions. You have forced them away. And you have not taken care of them. So I will punish you for the evil things you have done,” says the Lord.
