Jeremiah 50:10-12

Contemporary English Version

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.^[a]
12 The city of Babylon
    was like a mother to you.
But it will be disgraced
and become nothing
    but a barren desert.
