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.

  1. Jeremiah 50:11 Or neigh like steeds

11 “Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of Mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls,

12 your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bore you shall be ashamed. Behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land and a desert.

13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate; every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished and hiss at all her plagues.
