Verse 44
Jeremiah 50:44
World English Bible, British Edition
44
Behold, the enemy will come up like a lion
from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation;
for I will suddenly make them run away from it.
Whoever is chosen,
I will appoint him over it,
for who is like me?
Who will appoint me a time?
Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?”

English Translation
Behold, as a lion he will rise from the pride of the Jordan to the dwelling place of the strong, for those who drive him away will be quieted; who among them will appoint for me? For who is like me and who will declare my case, and who is this shepherd who will stand before me?
