Jeremiah 50:11-13
New King James Version
11 “Because(A) you were glad, because you rejoiced,
You destroyers of My heritage,
Because you have grown fat (B)like a heifer threshing grain,
And you [a]bellow like bulls,
12 Your mother shall be deeply ashamed;
She who bore you shall be ashamed.
Behold, the least of the nations shall be a (C)wilderness,
A dry land and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord
She shall not be inhabited,
(D)But she shall be wholly desolate.
(E)Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be horrified
And hiss at all her plagues.

Jeremiah 50:11-13
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.
