Jeremiah 50:38-40
Good News Translation
38 Bring a drought on its land
and dry up its rivers.
Babylonia is a land of terrifying idols
that have made fools of the people.
39 (A)“And so Babylon will be haunted by demons and evil spirits,[a] and by unclean birds. Never again will people live there, not for all time to come. 40 (B)The same thing will happen to Babylon that happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, when I destroyed them and the nearby towns. No one will ever live there again. I, the Lord, have spoken.
