Jeremiah 50:40-42

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴⁰God completely destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
and the towns around them.
In the same way no one will live in Babylon,
and no one will ever go to live there.”
This is what the Lord says.

⁴¹“Look! There are people coming from the north.
    They come from a powerful nation.
    Many kings are coming together from all around the world.
⁴²Their armies have bows and spears.
    The soldiers are cruel.
    They have no mercy.
The soldiers come riding on their horses;
    the sound is as loud as the roaring sea.
They stand in their places, ready for battle.
    They are ready to attack you, city of Babylon.
