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.”

18 Therefore[a] thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel,

“Look, I am going to punish the king of Babylon and his land
    just as I punished the king of Assyria.
19 And I will restore Israel to its pasture,
    and it will feed on Carmel, and in Bashan,
and on the hills[b] of Ephraim, and in Gilead
    its hunger will be satisfied.

17 “Israel is a scattered flock(A)

the last to crush their bones(E)
    was Nebuchadnezzar(F) king(G) of Babylon.”

18 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:

“I will punish the king of Babylon and his land
    as I punished the king(H) of Assyria.(I)
19 But I will bring(J) Israel back to their own pasture,
    and they will graze on Carmel and Bashan;
their appetite will be satisfied(K)
    on the hills(L) of Ephraim and Gilead.(M)
