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.

New Living Translation
35 “The sword of destruction will strike the Babylonians,”
says the Lord.
“It will strike the people of Babylon—
her officials and wise men, too.
36 The sword will strike her wise counselors,
and they will become fools.
The sword will strike her mightiest warriors,
and panic will seize them.
37 The sword will strike her horses and chariots
and her allies from other lands,
and they will all become like women.
The sword will strike her treasures,
and they all will be plundered.
38 A drought[a] will strike her water supply,
causing it to dry up.
And why? Because the whole land is filled with idols,
and the people are madly in love with them.
39 “Soon Babylon will be inhabited by desert animals and hyenas.
It will be a home for owls.
Never again will people live there;
it will lie desolate forever.
40 I will destroy it as I[b] destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
and their neighboring towns,” says the Lord.
“No one will live there;
no one will inhabit it.
