“Because of Yahweh’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.”
Jeremiah 50:13 (WEB)
Context Reading
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, 12your 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. 13Because of Yahweh’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. 14Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,all you who bend the bow;shoot at her.Spare no arrows,for she has sinned against Yahweh. 15Shout against her all around.She has submitted herself.Her bulwarks have fallen.Her walls have been thrown down,for it is the vengeance of Yahweh.Take vengeance on her.As she has done, do to her.
