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
Lexham English Bible
11 “Though you rejoice, though you exult,
O plunderers of my inheritance,
though you frisk about like a heifer on the grass,
and you neigh like the powerful stallions,
12 your mother will be very ashamed.
She who gave birth to you will be humiliated.[a]
Look, she will be the least of the nations,
a desert,[b] dry land, and wilderness.[c]
13 Because of the anger of Yahweh she will not be inhabited,
but she will be a wasteland, all of her.
Everyone who passes by Babylon will be appalled
and will hiss because of all her wounds.
