Jeremiah 50:38-40
Expanded Bible
38 Let a sword ·attack [L be against] her waters
so they will be dried up.
She is a land of idols,
and the people go ·crazy [mad] with fear over them.
39 “Desert animals and hyenas will live there,
and ·owls [or ostriches] will live there [C ritually unclean birds that live in desolate places],
but no people will ever live there again.
She will never be ·filled with people [resided in] again.
40 God ·completely destroyed [L overturned] the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
and ·the towns around them [L their neighbors; 20:6; 23:13–15; 49:18; Gen. 18–19],” says the Lord.
“In the same way no people will live there [C Babylon],
and no human being will stay there.
