Jeremiah 50:11

A Message Concerning Babylon

¹⁰ “Chaldea will become plunder;
All who plunder her will have enough,” declares the Lord.
¹¹ “Because you are glad, because you are jubilant,
O you who pillage My heritage,
Because you skip about like a threshing heifer
And neigh like stallions,
¹² Your mother will be greatly ashamed,
She who gave you birth will be humiliated.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
A wilderness, a parched land and a desert.
