Jeremiah 50:33-34

Babylon Judged: The Fall of the Hammer and the Return of the LORD’s Flock

The chapter moves from Babylon’s announced capture and the shame of its gods, to the return of Israel and Judah, to the exposure of Israel as scattered sheep, to Babylon’s punishment as the last devourer, to the LORD’s attack on Babylon’s pride, idols, and warriors, and finally to the collapse of Babylon as a world-shaking judgment.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

33 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “The sons of Israel are oppressed, and the sons of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to release them.

34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will fervently plead their case so that He may bring rest to the earth, but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.
