Jeremiah 50:38-40
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 50:38-40
Contemporary English Version
38 Your rivers and canals
will dry up.
All of this will happen,
because your land
is full of idols,
and they have made fools
of you.
39 (A) Never again will people live
in your land—
only desert animals, jackals,[a]
and unclean birds.
40 (B) I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
and the nearby towns,
and I will destroy Babylon
just as completely.
No one will live there again.
