Jeremiah 50:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ “Babylon, you are excited and happy.
    You took my land.
You dance around like a young cow
    that got into the grain.
Your laughter is like the happy sounds
    that horses make.
¹² Now your mother will be very ashamed.
    The woman who gave you birth will be embarrassed.
Babylon will be the least important of all the nations.
    She will be an empty, dry desert.
¹³ The Lord will show his anger,
    so no one will live there.
    Babylon will be completely empty.
Everyone who passes by Babylon will be afraid.
    They will shake their heads when they see how badly it has been destroyed.
