Jeremiah 50:17-19, 33-34

“The people of Israel are like a flock of sheep that are scattered from being chased by lions. The first lion to eat them up was the king of Assyria. The last lion to crush their bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.” So this is what the LORD All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says: “I will punish the king of Babylon and his country as I punished the king of Assyria. But I will bring the people of Israel back to their own pasture. They will eat on Mount Carmel and in Bashan. They will eat and be full on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.”

This is what the LORD All-Powerful says: “The people of Israel and Judah are slaves. The enemy took them as prisoners and won’t let them go. But God is strong and will buy them back. His name is the LORD All-Powerful. He will surely defend them with power so he can give rest to their land. But he will not give rest to those living in Babylon.”
