Jeremiah 51:14

A Message Concerning Babylon

¹³ You who reside by many waters,
rich in treasures,
your end has come,
your life thread is cut. ¹⁴ The Lord of Hosts has sworn by Himself:

I will fill you up with men as with locusts,
and they will sing the victory song over you. ¹⁵ He made the earth by His power,
established the world by His wisdom,
and spread out the heavens by His understanding.
