Jeremiah 50:17-18
Christian Standard Bible
The Return of God’s People
17 Israel is a stray lamb, chased by lions.(A)
The first who devoured him was the king of Assyria;
the last who crushed his bones
was King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.(B)
18 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I am about to punish the king of Babylon(C) and his land just as I punished the king of Assyria.

New Living Translation
Hope for God’s People
17 “The Israelites are like sheep
that have been scattered by lions.
First the king of Assyria ate them up.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar[a] of Babylon cracked their bones.”
18 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
the God of Israel, says:
“Now I will punish the king of Babylon and his land,
just as I punished the king of Assyria.
