Jeremiah 2:3

3  Israel was choly to the Lord,

the firstfruits of his harvest.

dAll who ate of it incurred guilt;

disaster came upon them,

declares the Lord.”


Jeremiah 30:16

16  Therefore nall who devour you shall be devoured,

and all your foes, every one of them, shall go into captivity;

those who plunder you shall be plundered,

and all who prey on you I will make a prey.


Jeremiah 50:17–18

17 “Israel is a hunted sheep driven away by flions. gFirst the king of Assyria devoured him, and hnow at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has gnawed his bones. 18 Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing punishment on the king of Babylon and his land, as I ipunished the king of Assyria.
