Jeremiah 50:40-42
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
40 As happened when God overturned Sodom
and Gomorrah and their neighbors—oracle of the Lord—
No one shall dwell there,
no mortal shall settle there.(A)
41 See, a people comes from the north,
a great nation, and mighty kings
rising from the ends of the earth.(B)
42 Bow and javelin they wield,
cruel and pitiless are they;
They sound like the roaring sea,
as they ride forth on horses,
Each in place for battle
against you, daughter Babylon.
