Jeremiah 50:40-42

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴⁰ “As when God overthrew ^(A)Sodom
And Gomorrah with its neighbors,” declares the Lord,
“No man will live there,
Nor will any son of man reside in it.

⁴¹ “Behold, a people is coming ^(B)from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.
⁴² “They ^(C)seize their bow and javelin;
They are ^(D)cruel and have no mercy.
Their ^(E)voice roars like the sea;
And they ride on ^(F)horses,
^(G)Marshalled like a man for the battle
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
