17 Israel is a sheep scattered,
    lions drove them away.
The first who devoured it was the king of Assyria,
    and now at the end Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, gnawed its bones.”

“Look, I am going to punish the king of Babylon and his land
    just as I punished the king of Assyria.

    and it will feed on Carmel, and in Bashan,
and on the hills[b] of Ephraim, and in Gilead
    its hunger will be satisfied.
