40 Babylonia will become a heap of stones where nobody lives.
The same thing happened to Sodom and Gomorrah
and the towns near to them.
Nobody will live there any more.’

That is what the Lord says.

41     ‘Look! An army is coming from the north.
    A great nation and many kings are preparing to attack.
    They are coming from a place that is far away.
42     Its soldiers carry bows and spears as their weapons.

    They ride into the battle on their horses,
    and it sounds like the noise of the sea.
    They are ready to attack you, people of Babylon!
