Jeremiah 50:40-42

Christian Standard Bible

⁴⁰ Just as God demolished Sodom and Gomorrah
and their neighboring towns^(A)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
so no one will live there;
no human being will stay in it even temporarily
as a temporary resident.^(B)

⁴¹ Look! A people comes from the north.^(C)
A great nation and many kings will be stirred up
from the remote regions of the earth.^(D)
42 They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea,^(E)
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Babylon.
