Berean Standard Bible

Jeremiah 50:11-18

11“Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph— you who plunder My inheritance— because you frolic like a heifer treading grain and neigh like stallions,12your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who bore you will be disgraced. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

13Because of the wrath of the LORD,she will not be inhabited;she will become completely desolate.All who pass through Babylon will be horrifiedand will hiss at all her wounds.

14Line up in formation around Babylon,all you who draw the bow!Shoot at her! Spare no arrows!For she has sinned against the LORD.15Raise a war cry against her on every side!She has thrown up her hands in surrender;her towers have fallen;her walls are torn down.

Since this is the vengeance of the LORD,take out your vengeance upon her;as she has done,do the same to her.16Cut off the sower from Babylon,and the one who wields the sickle at harvest time.In the face of the oppressor’s sword,each will turn to his own people,each will flee to his own land.

17Israel is a scattered flock,chased away by lions.The first to devour himwas the king of Assyria;the last to crush his boneswas Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.”

18Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says:

“I will punish the king of Babylon and his landas I punished the king of Assyria.
