11 After that the king of As·syrʹi·a+ took Israel into exile+ in As·syrʹi·a and set them down in Haʹlah+ and in Haʹbor+ at the river Goʹzan+ and in the cities of the Medes,+

17 “Israel is a scattered sheep.+ Lions themselves have done the dispersing.+ In the first instance the king of As·syrʹi·a has devoured him,+ and in this latter instance Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon has gnawed on his bones.+

34 “Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon has eaten me up;+ he has thrown me into confusion. He has set me as an empty vessel. He has swallowed me down like a big snake;*+ he has filled his abdomen with my pleasant things. He has rinsed me* away.
