Jeremiah 50 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

Jeremiah 50Judgment on Babylon

1

go up against her,

and attack the inhabitants of Pekod

and utterly destroy the last of them, says the Lord;

do all that I have commanded you.

22 horses and against her chariots

and against all the foreign troops in her midst,

so that they may become women!

A sword against her treasures,

that they may be plundered!

38 and ostriches shall inhabit her; she shall never again be peopled or inhabited for all generations.

40 For who is like me? Who can summon me? Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?

45Therefore hear the plan that the Lord has made against Babylon and the purposes that he has formed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away; surely the fold shall be appalled at their fate.

46Ezek 27.28; Rev 18.9At the sound of the capture of Babylon the earth shall tremble, and a cry shall be heard among the nations.
