Jeremiah 50:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Raise your war cries against her on all sides;
    shout in triumph,
“She has surrendered,
    her bastions have fallen,
    her walls have been demolished.”
This is the vengeance of the Lord.
    Avenge yourselves on her;
    as she has done, so do to her.
¹⁶ Drive out from Babylon the sowers
    and those who wield the sickle at harvest time.
To escape the destroying sword,
    all of them will return to their own people;
    all of them will flee to their own land.
¹⁷ Israel is a scattered flock
    that was pursued by lions.
First the king of Assyria devoured her,
    and now her bones have been crushed
    by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
