International Standard Version
Jeremiah 50:15-17
International Standard Version
15 Raise a battle cry against her on every side.
She has surrendered,[a] her pillars have fallen,
her walls are thrown down.
For this is the vengeance of the Lord.
Take vengeance on her;
as she has done, do to her.
16 Eliminate from Babylon the one who plants seeds
and the one who uses the sickle at harvest time.
Because of the oppressor’s sword, let each one turn
toward his own people and flee to his own land.”
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[b] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon gnawed[c] his bones.
