Jeremiah 50:43-45
New American Standard Bible 1995
43 “The (A)king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands hang limp;
(B)Distress has gripped him,
Agony like a woman in childbirth.
44 “(C)Behold, one will come up like a lion from the [a]thicket of the Jordan to [b]a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make them run away from it, and whoever is (D)chosen I will appoint over it. For who is (E)like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can (F)stand before Me?” 45 Therefore hear the (G)plan of the Lord which He has planned against Babylon, and His purposes which He has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: (H)surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their [c]pasture desolate because of them.

Jeremiah 50:43-45
New International Version
43 The king of Babylon has heard reports about them,
and his hands hang limp.(A)
Anguish has gripped him,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(B)
44 Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets(C)
to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen(D) one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?(E)
And what shepherd can stand against me?”
