Jeremiah 50:35-40
Legacy Standard Bible
35 A (A)sword against the Chaldeans,” declares Yahweh,
“And against the inhabitants of Babylon
And against her (B)officials and her (C)wise men!
36 A sword against the (D)oracle priests, and they will become fools!
A sword against her (E)mighty men, and they will be [a](F)shattered!
37 A sword against [b]their (G)horses and against [c]their chariots
And against all the [d](H)foreigners who are in the midst of her,
And they will become (I)women!
A sword against her treasures, and they will be plundered!
38 A [e](J)drought on her waters, and they will be dried up!
For it is a land of (K)graven images,
And they are mad over terrifying idols.
39 “Therefore the (L)desert creatures will live there along with the jackals;
The ostriches also will live in it,
And it will (M)never again be lived in
Or dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 As when God overthrew (N)Sodom
And Gomorrah with its neighbors,” declares Yahweh,
“No man will live there,
Nor will any son of man sojourn in it.

Jeremiah 50:35-40
Common English Bible
35 A sword against Babylon and its people,
declares the Lord,
along with its officials and sages.
36 A sword against its diviners
so that they become fools.
A sword against its warriors
so that they are terrified.
37 A sword against its horses and chariots,
and the mercenaries[a] in its midst
so that they lose courage.[b]
A sword against its treasures
so that they are looted.
38 A sword[c] against the water supplies
so that they dry up.
It is truly the land of idols,
idols about which they have gone utterly mad!
39 Therefore, Babylon will become a ghost town,
a place for desert animals,
hyenas, and ravenous birds.[d]
No one will live there again;
no one will make it their home.
40 Just as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors,
declares the Lord,
so no one will live in Babylon
or settle there again.
