Jeremiah 50:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ In the north I am bringing
    great nations together.
They will attack Babylon
    and capture it.
The arrows they shoot
are like the best soldiers,^[a]
    always finding their target.
¹⁰ Babylonia will be conquered,
and its enemies will carry off
    everything they want.

¹¹ People of Babylonia,
you were glad
    to rob my people.
You had a good time,
making more noise
    than horses
and jumping around
    like calves threshing grain.^[b]
