Jeremiah 50:10 in context

Jeremiah 50:7–13

7

All who found them have devoured them.

Their adversaries said, ‘We are not guilty,

because they have sinned against the LORD,

the habitation of righteousness,

even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.’

8

“Flee out of the middle of Babylon!

Go out of the land of the Chaldeans,

and be as the male goats before the flocks.

9

For, behold, I will stir up

and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country;

and they will set themselves in array against her.

She will be taken from there.

Their arrows will be as of an expert mighty man.

None of them will return in vain.

10
Selected verse

Chaldea will be a prey.

All who prey on her will be satisfied,” says the LORD.

11

“Because you are glad,

because you rejoice,

O you who plunder my heritage,

because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain,

and neigh as strong horses,

12

your mother will be utterly disappointed.

She who bore you will be confounded.

Behold, she will be the least of the nations,

a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

13

Because of the LORD’s wrath she won’t be inhabited,

but she will be wholly desolate.

Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished,

and hiss at all her plagues.
