Jeremiah 50:35-42 - Heartlight

³⁵A sword is against the Chaldeans,

declares the LORD,

against those who live in Babylon,

and against her officials and wise men.

³⁶A sword is against her false prophets,

and they will become fools.

A sword is against her warriors,

and they will be filled with terror.

³⁷A sword is against her horses and chariots

and against all the foreigners in her midst,

and they will become like women.

A sword is against her treasuries,

and they will be plundered.

³⁸A drought is upon her waters,

and they will be dried up.

For it is a land of graven images,

and the people go mad over idols.

³⁹So the desert creatures and hyenas will live there

and ostriches will dwell there.

It will never again be inhabited

or lived in from generation to generation.

⁴⁰As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah

along with their neighbors,” declares the LORD,

“no one will dwell there;

no man will abide there.

⁴¹Behold, an army is coming from the north;

a great nation and many kings are stirred up

from the ends of the earth.

⁴²They grasp the bow and spear;

they are cruel and merciless.

Their voice roars like the sea,

and they ride upon horses,

lined up like men in formation

against you, O Daughter of Babylon.
