Jeremiah 50:31-33

Contemporary English Version

³¹ Babylon, you should be named,
    “The Proud One.”
But the time has come when I,
the Lord All-Powerful,
    will punish you.
³² You are proud,
but you will stumble and fall,
    and no one will help you up.
I will set your villages on fire,
and everything around you
    will go up in flames.

³³ You Babylonians were cruel
    to Israel and Judah.
You took them captive, and now
    you refuse to let them go.
