17Israel is a scattered flock,
chased away by lions.
The first to devour him
was the king of Assyria;
the last to crush his bones
was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.”
18Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says:
“I will punish the king of Babylon and his land
as I punished the king of Assyria.
— Jeremiah 50:17-18
