Jeremiah 50:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 “Because you are glad, because you are jubilant,
You who (A)pillage My heritage,
Because you skip about [a]like a threshing (B)heifer
And neigh like [b]stallions,
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 dry land and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord she will (E)not be inhabited,
But she will be (F)completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon (G)will be horrified
And will hiss because of all her wounds.

Christian Standard Bible
11 Because you rejoice,
because you celebrate—
you who plundered my inheritance—
because you frolic like a young cow treading grain
and neigh like stallions,(A)
12 your mother(B) will be utterly humiliated;
she who bore you will be put to shame.
Look! She will lag behind all[a] the nations—
an arid wilderness, a desert.(C)
13 Because of the Lord’s wrath,
she will not be inhabited;
she will become a desolation, every bit of her.
Everyone who passes through Babylon
will be appalled
and scoff because of all her wounds.(D)
