Jeremiah 50:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 Because of the Lord’s wrath it shall be uninhabited,
become an utter wasteland;
Everyone who passes by Babylon will be appalled
and hiss at all its wounds.(A)
14 Take your posts encircling Babylon,
you who bend the bow;
Shoot at it, do not spare your arrows,(B)
15 raise the war cry against it on every side.
It surrenders, its bastions fall,
its walls are torn down:[a]
This is retribution from the Lord! Take retribution on her,
as she has done, do to her;
for she sinned against the Lord.(C)
