Jeremiah 50:37-39

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁷ Sword, kill the horses and chariots of Babylon.
    Sword, kill all the soldiers hired from other countries.
    They will be like frightened women.
Sword, destroy the treasures of Babylon.
    Those treasures will be taken away.
³⁸ Sword, strike the waters of Babylon.
    Those waters will be dried up.
Babylon has many, many idols.
    These idols show that the people of Babylon are foolish.
    So bad things will happen to them.
³⁹ Babylon will never again be filled with people.
    Wild dogs, ostriches, and other desert animals will live there.
    But no one will live there ever again.
