Jeremiah 50:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ “Destroy the sower from Babel, and he who handles the scythe in the time of harvest. Because of the sword of the oppressor, everyone shall turn to his people. And everyone shall flee to his own land.

¹⁷ “Israel is like scattered sheep. The lions have dispersed them. First, the king of Assyria devoured him. And last, this Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, broke his bones.”

¹⁸ Therefore, thus says 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.
