Jeremiah 50:19-21
Living Bible
19 And I will bring Israel home again to her own land, to feed in the fields of Carmel and Bashan and to be happy once more on Mount Ephraim and Mount Gilead. 20 In those days, says the Lord, no sin shall be found in Israel or in Judah, for I will pardon the remnant I preserve.
21 Go up, O my warriors, against the land of Merathaim[a] and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge! Annihilate them, as I have commanded you.

New International Version
19 But I will bring(A) Israel back to their own pasture,
and they will graze on Carmel and Bashan;
their appetite will be satisfied(B)
on the hills(C) of Ephraim and Gilead.(D)
20 In those days, at that time,”
declares the Lord,
“search will be made for Israel’s guilt,
but there will be none,(E)
and for the sins(F) of Judah,
but none will be found,
for I will forgive(G) the remnant(H) I spare.
