Jeremiah 50:44-45
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

44 As happens when a lion comes up from a thicket of the Jordan
    to permanent pasture,
So I, in an instant, will chase them off,
    and establish there whomever I choose!
For who is like me? Who can call me to account?
    What shepherd can stand against me?(A)
45 Therefore, hear the strategy of the Lord,
    which he has devised against Babylon;
Hear the plans drawn up
    against the land of the Chaldeans:
They shall be dragged away, even the smallest sheep;
    their own pasture aghast because of them.(B)

Jeremiah 50:44-45
New International Version

44 Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets(A)
    to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
    Who is the chosen(B) one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?(C)
    And what shepherd can stand against me?”

45 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Babylon,
    what he has purposed(D) against the land of the Babylonians:(E)
The young of the flock will be dragged away;
    their pasture will be appalled at their fate.
