Jeremiah 50:40-42
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)
The Conquest of Babylon
41 Look! A people comes from the north.
A great nation and many kings will be stirred up
from the remote regions of the earth.(C)
42 They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea,(D)
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Babylon.
Jeremiah 50:40-42
King James Version
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
