Jeremiah 50:17-19
New Catholic Bible
17 Israel is a scattered flock
that was pursued by lions.
First the king of Assyria devoured her,
and now her bones have been crushed
by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
18 Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
I intend to punish the king of Babylon and his land,
as I formerly punished the king of Assyria.
19 I will restore Israel to her pastures,
and she will graze on Carmel and in Bashan;
on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead
her hunger will be satisfied.
