Jeremiah 50:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ Raise the war cry all around the city! Now Babylon has surrendered. Its walls have been broken through and torn down.^[a] I am taking my revenge on the Babylonians. So take your revenge on them, and treat them as they have treated others. ¹⁶ Do not let seeds be planted in that country nor let a harvest be gathered. Every foreigner living there will be afraid of the attacking army and will go back home.”

Israel's Return

¹⁷ The Lord says, “The people of Israel are like sheep, chased and scattered by lions. First, they were attacked by the emperor of Assyria, and then King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia gnawed on their bones.
