Jeremiah 50:16-18

New Catholic Bible

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.

I intend to punish the king of Babylon and his land,
    as I formerly punished the king of Assyria.
