Jeremiah 50:16-18
Living Bible
16 Let the farmhands all depart. Let them rush back to their own lands as the enemies advance.
17 The Israelites are like sheep the lions chase. First the king of Assyria ate them up; then Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, crunched their bones. 18 Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Now I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria.

Jeremiah 50:16-18
New International Version
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
and the reaper with his sickle at harvest.
Because of the sword(A) of the oppressor
let everyone return to their own people,(B)
let everyone flee to their own land.(C)
17 “Israel is a scattered flock(D)
that lions(E) have chased away.
The first to devour(F) them
was the king(G) of Assyria;
the last to crush their bones(H)
was Nebuchadnezzar(I) king(J) of Babylon.”
18 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
Jeremiah 50:16-18
King James Version
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
