50:1 The Lord spoke concerning Babylon and the land of Babylonia through the prophet Jeremiah.
50:10 Babylonia will be plundered.
Those who plunder it will take all they want,”
says the Lord.
50:12 But Babylonia will be put to great shame.
The land where you were born will be disgraced.
Indeed, Babylonia will become the least important of all nations.
It will become a dry and barren desert.
50:22 The noise of battle can be heard in the land of Babylonia.
There is the sound of great destruction.
51:1 The Lord says,
“I will cause a destructive wind to blow
against Babylon and the people who inhabit Babylonia.
51:4 Let them fall slain in the land of Babylonia,
mortally wounded in the streets of her cities.
