Jeremiah 50:44-46
Living Bible
44 I will send against them an invader who will come upon them suddenly, like a lion from the jungles of Jordan that leaps upon the grazing sheep. I will put her defenders to flight and appoint over them whomsoever I please. For who is like me? What ruler can oppose my will? Who can call me to account?
45 Listen to the plan of the Lord against Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans. For even little children shall be dragged away as slaves; oh, the horror; oh, the terror. 46 The whole earth shall shake at Babylon’s fall, and her cry of despair shall be heard around the world.

Jeremiah 50:44-46
New International Version
44 Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets(A)
to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen(B) one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?(C)
And what shepherd can stand against me?”
45 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Babylon,
what he has purposed(D) against the land of the Babylonians:(E)
The young of the flock will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.
46 At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will tremble;(F)
its cry(G) will resound among the nations.
