Jeremiah 50:17-18

International Standard Version

Hope for Israel

¹⁷ “Israel is a scattered flock, driven out by lions. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria, and then afterward^[a] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon gnawed^[b] his bones. ¹⁸ Therefore this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Look, I’m about to judge the king of Babylon and his land, just as I’ve judged the king of Assyria.
