Jeremiah 50:33-38

English Standard Version

³³“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^(A)The people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah with them. All who took them captive have held them fast; ^(B)they refuse to let them go. ³⁴^(C)Their Redeemer is strong; ^(D)the Lord of hosts is his name. ^(E)He will surely plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, but unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.

³⁵“A sword against the Chaldeans, declares the Lord,
    and against the inhabitants of Babylon,
    and against ^(F)her officials and her ^(G)wise men!
³⁶A sword against the diviners,
    that they may become fools!
A sword against her ^(H)warriors,
    that they may be destroyed!
³⁷A sword against her horses and against her chariots,
    and against all ^(I)the foreign troops in her midst,
    that ^(J)they may become women!
^(K)A sword against all her treasures,
    that they may be plundered!
³⁸^(L)A drought against her waters,
    that they may be dried up!
^(M)For it is a land of images,
    and they are mad over idols.
