Jeremiah 50:16-18
Tree of Life Version
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon
and the one who wields a sickle in the time of harvest.

each will flee to his own land.
17 Israel is a scattered flock—

was King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
18 Therefore thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot,
the God of Israel:
“Indeed, I will punish Babylon’s king and his land,
just as I punished Assyria’s king.
Jeremiah 50:16-18

let everyone return to their own people,(B)

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:
