Context of Jeremiah 50:40
38a drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad after frightful idols. 39Therefore wild beasts of the desert with jackals shall dwell there, and ostriches shall dwell therein; and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighbour cities, saith Jehovah, no one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein. 41Behold, a people cometh from the north, and a great nation. And many kings shall arise from the uttermost parts of the earth. 42They lay hold of bow and spear; they are cruel, and will not shew mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses — set in array like a man for the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
