Jeremiah 2:18

2:18 What good will it do you then to go down to Egypt

to seek help from the Egyptians?

What good will it do you to go over to Assyria

to seek help from the Assyrians?

Jeremiah 50:17-18

50:17 “The people of Israel are like scattered sheep

which lions have chased away.

First the king of Assyria devoured them.

Now last of all King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has gnawed their bones.

50:18 So I, the Lord God of Israel who rules over all, say:

‘I will punish the king of Babylon and his land

just as I punished the king of Assyria.
