Jeremiah 50:15-17
Christian Standard Bible
15 Raise a war cry against her on every side!
She has thrown up her hands in surrender;
her defense towers have fallen;
her walls are demolished.(A)
Since this is the Lord’s vengeance,(B)
take your vengeance on her;
as she has done, do the same to her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon
as well as him who wields the sickle at harvest time.
Because of the oppressor’s sword,(C)
each will turn to his own people,(D)
each will flee to his own land.
The Return of God’s People
17 Israel is a stray lamb, chased by lions.(E)
The first who devoured him was the king of Assyria;
the last who crushed his bones
was King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.(F)
