Jeremiah 51:13-15

¹³You who live beside many waters,
    rich in treasures,
your end has come,
    your life thread is cut.^[a]
¹⁴The Lord of the Heavenly Armies
    has sworn by himself:
“I’ll surely fill you with soldiers^[b] like a swarm of locusts,
    and they’ll sing songs of victory over you.”

Praise to the God of Jacob

He established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding he spread out the heavens.
