Jeremiah 50:17-20

17‘Israel's enemies have chased them away to many different places. They are like sheep that hungry lions have chased away. The first to catch them was the king of Assyria. Then King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon destroyed them, like a lion that broke their bones.’

18So the Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says this: ‘I will punish the king of Babylon and his country, as I punished the king of Assyria.

19But I will bring Israel's people back to their own land. They will grow their crops on Carmel and in Bashan. They will have plenty of food to eat on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.

20At that time, I will forgive the sins of my people. I have let a few people of Israel and Judah remain. And they will no longer be guilty of any sins.’ That is what the Lord says.
