Jeremiah 50:44

Behold, he, the invader, shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan, from his den in its thickets, unto the habitation of the strong, 49:19; but I will make them, the Babylonians, suddenly run away from her, from the dwelling where they felt so secure; and who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her? to carry out the Lord's counsel. For who is like Me? And who will appoint Me the time? And who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?
