Jeremiah 34:18-19
34:18 I will punish those people who have violated their covenant with me. I will make them like the calf they cut in two and passed between its pieces.
I will do so because they did not keep the terms of the covenant they made in my presence.
34:19 I will punish the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials,
the priests, and all the other people of the land who passed between the pieces of the calf.

Jeremiah 2:15
2:15 Like lions his enemies roar victoriously over him;
they raise their voices in triumph.
They have laid his land waste;
his cities have been burned down and deserted.
