Jeremiah 50:33-38
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
33 Thus says the Lord of hosts: The people of Israel are oppressed, and so also are the people of Judah; all their captors have held them fast and refuse to let them go.(A) 34 Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name. He will surely plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth but unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.(B)
35 A sword against the Chaldeans, says the Lord,
and against the inhabitants of Babylon
and against her officials and her sages!(C)
36 A sword against the diviners,
so that they may become fools!
A sword against her warriors,
so that they may be dismayed!(D)
37 A sword against her[a] horses and against her[b] chariots
and against all the foreign troops in her midst,
so that they may become women!
A sword against her treasures,
that they may be plundered!(E)
38 A drought against her waters,
that they may be dried up!
For it is a land of images,
and they go mad over idols.(F)
