Jeremiah 50:9-15
9For behold, I am going to 1arouse and bring up against Babylon A horde of great nations from the land of the north, And they will draw up their battle lines against her; From there she will be taken captive. Their arrows will be like 2an expert warrior Who does not return empty-handed.1034Chaldea will become plunder; All who plunder her will have enough,” declares the Lord.
11“Because you are glad, because you are jubilant, O you who 5pillage My heritage, Because you skip about 6like a threshing 7heifer And neigh like 8stallions,12Your 9mother 10will be greatly ashamed, She who gave you birth 11will be humiliated. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, A 12wilderness, a parched land and a desert.13Because of the indignation of the Lord she will 13not be inhabited, But she will be 14completely desolate; Everyone who passes by Babylon 15will be horrified And will hiss because of all her wounds.14Draw up your battle lines against Babylon on every side, All you who 16bend the bow; Shoot at her, do not be sparing with your arrows, For she has 17sinned against the Lord.15Raise your battle cry against her on every side! She has 18given 19herself up, her pillars have fallen, Her 20walls have been torn down. For this is the 21vengeance of the Lord: Take vengeance on her; 22As she has done to others, so do to her.
