Jeremiah 50:11-13
New International Version
11 “Because you rejoice and are glad,
you who pillage my inheritance,(A)
because you frolic like a heifer(B) threshing grain
and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother will be greatly ashamed;
she who gave you birth will be disgraced.(C)
She will be the least of the nations—
a wilderness, a dry land, a desert.(D)
13 Because of the Lord’s anger she will not be inhabited
but will be completely desolate.(E)
All who pass Babylon will be appalled;(F)
they will scoff(G) because of all her wounds.(H)
Jeremiah 50:11-13
Common English Bible
11 Sure, you gloat and rejoice,
you plunderers of my possession.
Sure, you dance around like a calf
and neigh like a stallion.
12 But Mother Babylon[a] will be humiliated;
the one who bore you will be disgraced.
She will become the least of the nations:
a wilderness, a desert, and parched land.
13 Because of the Lord’s anger,
no one will live there;
she will be reduced to total ruin.
All who pass by Babylon will be shocked;
they will gasp at all her injuries.
