Jeremiah 50:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible

16 Remove from Babylon all the farmers who plant crops.
Remove all the people who cut the crops at harvest time.
The foreigners must return to their own homes.
They must run away to escape from the enemy army.’

17 ‘Israel's enemies have chased them away to many different places.
They are like sheep that hungry lions have chased away.
The first to catch them was the king of Assyria.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon destroyed them,
like a lion that broke their bones.’[a]

18 So the Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says this:

‘I will punish the king of Babylon and his country,
as I punished the king of Assyria.
