Jeremiah 50 (NKJV)

¹ The word that the Lord spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet. ² Her images are broken in pieces.’ ³ Both man and beast. ⁴ And seek the Lord their God. ⁵ That will not be forgotten.’ ⁶ They have forgotten their resting place. ⁷ The Lord, the hope of their fathers.’ ⁸ And be like the rams before the flocks. ⁹ None shall return in vain. ¹⁰ All who plunder her shall be satisfied,” says the Lord. ¹¹ And you bellow like bulls, ¹² A dry land and a desert. ¹³ And hiss at all her plagues. ¹⁴ For she has sinned against the Lord. ¹⁵ As she has done, so do to her. ¹⁶ And everyone shall flee to his own land. ¹⁷ Now at last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.” ¹⁸ As I have punished the king of Assyria. ¹⁹ His soul shall be satisfied on Mount Ephraim and Gilead. ²⁰ For I will pardon those whom I preserve. ²¹ “And do according to all that I have commanded you. ²² And of great destruction. ²³ How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations! ²⁴ Because you have contended against the Lord. ²⁵ In the land of the Chaldeans. ²⁶ Let nothing of her be left. ²⁷ For their day has come, the time of their punishment. ²⁸ The vengeance of His temple. ²⁹ Against the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰ And all her men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord. ³¹ The time that I will punish you. ³² And it will devour all around him.” ³³ They have refused to let them go. ³⁴ And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon. ³⁵ And against her princes and her wise men. ³⁶ A sword is against her mighty men, and they will be dismayed. ³⁷ A sword is against her treasures, and they will be robbed. ³⁸ And they are insane with their idols. ³⁹ Nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. ⁴⁰ Nor son of man dwell in it. ⁴¹ Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth. ⁴² Against you, O daughter of Babylon. ⁴³ Pangs as of a woman in childbirth. ⁴⁴ Who will withstand Me?” ⁴⁵ Surely He will make their dwelling place desolate with them. ⁴⁶ And the cry is heard among the nations.
