¹⁷ “Israel is a ^(A)scattered ^[a]flock, the ^(B)lions have driven them away. The first one who devoured him was the ^(C)king of Assyria, and this last one who has gnawed his bones is ^(D)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. ¹⁸ Therefore this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Behold, I am going to punish the king of Babylon and his land, just as I ^(E)punished the king of Assyria. ¹⁹ And I will ^(F)bring Israel back to his pasture and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan, and his ^[b]desire will be satisfied in the ^(G)hill country of Ephraim and Gilead.
