Jeremiah 50:15-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
15 “Raise your battle cry against her on every side!
She has (A)given [a]herself up, her pillars have fallen,
Her (B)walls have been torn down.
For this is the (C)vengeance of the Lord:
Take vengeance on her;
(D)As she has done to others, so do to her.
16 “Cut off the (E)sower from Babylon
And the one who wields the sickle at the time of harvest;
From before [b]the (F)sword of the oppressor
(G)They will each turn back to his own people
And they will each flee to his own land.
17 “Israel is a (H)scattered [c]flock, the (I)lions have driven them away. The first one who devoured him was the (J)king of Assyria, and this last one who has broken his bones is (K)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
