Jeremiah 50:40
Holman 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 even stay in it
as a temporary resident.(B)
Jeremiah 50:40
New International Version
Jeremiah 50:44-46
Holman Christian Standard Bible
44 “Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets[a](A) of the Jordan to the watered grazing land. Indeed, I will chase Babylon[b] away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like Me? Who will summon Me? Who is the shepherd who can stand against Me?”
45 Therefore, hear the plans that the Lord has drawn up against Babylon and the strategies He has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: Certainly the flock’s little lambs will be dragged away; certainly the grazing land will be made desolate because of them. 46 At the sound of Babylon’s conquest the earth will quake; a cry will be heard among the nations.(B)

Jeremiah 50:44-46
New International Version
44 Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets(A)
to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen(B) one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?(C)
And what shepherd can stand against me?”
45 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Babylon,
what he has purposed(D) against the land of the Babylonians:(E)
The young of the flock will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.
46 At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will tremble;(F)
its cry(G) will resound among the nations.
