Jeremiah 50:16-18
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 50:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 There is no one in Babylonia
to plant or harvest crops.
Even foreigners who lived there
have left for their homelands,
afraid of the enemy armies.
17 Israel is a flock of sheep
scattered by hungry lions.
The king of Assyria[a]
first gobbled Israel up.
Then Nebuchadnezzar,[b]
king of Babylonia,
crunched on Israel's bones.
18 I, the Lord All-Powerful,
the God of Israel,
punished the king of Assyria,
and I will also punish
the king of Babylonia.
