Context of Jeremiah 50:40

38A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is the land of carved images, And they are insane with their idols. 39“Therefore the wild desert beasts shall dwell there with the jackals, And the ostriches shall dwell in it. It shall be inhabited no more forever, Nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah And their neighbors,” says the Lord, “So no one shall reside there, Nor son of man dwell in it. 41“Behold, a people shall come from the north, And a great nation and many kings Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth. 42They shall hold the bow and the lance; They are cruel and shall not show mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea; They shall ride on horses, Set in array, like a man for the battle, Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
