Jeremiah 50:35-42

1. 35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

2. 36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

3. 37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

4. 38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

5. 39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

6. 40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

7. 41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

8. 42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
