Jeremiah 50:39-41

Contemporary English Version

^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.

⁴¹ Far to the north,
a nation and its allies
    have been awakened.
They are powerful
    and ready for war.
