Jeremiah 50:11-13
Legacy Standard Bible
11 “Because you are glad, because you exult,
O you who (A)plunder My inheritance,
Because you skip about [a]like a threshing (B)heifer
And neigh like [b]valiant steeds,
12 Your (C)mother [c]will be greatly ashamed;
She who gave you birth [d]will be humiliated.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
A (D)wilderness, a parched land, and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of Yahweh she will (E)not be inhabited,
But she will be (F)completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon (G)will be in desolation
And will hiss because of all her wounds.

American Standard Version
11 Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer [a]that treadeth out the grain, and neigh as strong horses; 12 your mother shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. 13 Because of the wrath of Jehovah she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
