Jeremiah 50:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ Cut off the sower from Babylon
as well as him who wields the sickle at harvest time.
Because of the oppressor’s sword,^(A)
each will turn to his own people,^(B)
each will flee to his own land.

¹⁷ Israel is a stray lamb, chased by lions.^(C)
The first who devoured him was the king of Assyria;
the last one who crushed his bones
was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.^(D)
