Jeremiah 50:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Destroy the [a]sower from Babel, and him that handleth the scythe in the time of harvest: because of the sword of the oppressor they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone to his own land.
17 Israel is like scattered sheep: the lions have dispersed them: first the king of [b]Assyria hath devoured him, and last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel hath broken his [c]bones.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Behold, I will visit the king of Babel, and his land, as I have visited the King of Assyria.
