Jeremiah 50:11-13
World English Bible
11 “Because you are glad,
because you rejoice,
O you who plunder my heritage,
because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain,
and neigh as strong horses;
12 your mother will be utterly disappointed.
She who bore you will be confounded.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Because of Yahweh’s wrath she won’t be inhabited,
but she will be wholly desolate.
Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished,
and hiss at all her plagues.
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.
