Jeremiah 50:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 Raise a loud shout against her on every side!
She has (A)given [a]herself up, her pillars have fallen,
Her (B)walls have been pulled down.
For this is the (C)vengeance of Yahweh:
Take vengeance on her;
(D)As she has done to others, so do to her.
16 Cut off the (E)sower from Babylon
And the one who seizes the sickle at the time of harvest;
From before [b]the (F)sword of the oppressor
(G)They will each turn back to his own people,
And they will each flee to his own land.
17 “Israel is a (H)scattered [c]flock; the (I)lions have banished them away. The first one who devoured him was the (J)king of Assyria, and this last one who has broken his bones is (K)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
