Jeremiah 51:14

A Message Concerning Babylon

¹³ O you who dwell by many waters,
Abundant in treasures,
Your end has come,
The measure of your end.
¹⁴ The Lord of hosts has sworn by Himself:
“Surely I will fill you with a population like locusts,
And they will cry out with shouts of victory over you.”
¹⁵ It is He who made the earth by His power,
Who established the world by His wisdom,
And by His understanding He stretched out the heavens.
