33This is what the LORD of Hosts says:
“The sons of Israel are oppressed,
and the sons of Judah as well.
All their captors hold them fast,
refusing to release them.
34Their Redeemer is strong;
the LORD of Hosts is His name.
He will fervently plead their case
so that He may bring rest to the earth,
but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.
35A sword is against the Chaldeans,
declares the LORD,
against those who live in Babylon,
and against her officials and wise men.
36A sword is against her false prophets,
and they will become fools.
A sword is against her warriors,
and they will be filled with terror.
37A sword is against her horses and chariots
and against all the foreigners in her midst,
and they will become like women.
A sword is against her treasuries,
and they will be plundered.
38A drought is upon her waters,
and they will be dried up.
For it is a land of graven images,
and the people go mad over idols.
39So the desert creatures and hyenas will live there
and ostriches will dwell there.
It will never again be inhabited
or lived in from generation to generation.
40As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah
along with their neighbors,” declares the LORD,
“no one will dwell there;
no man will abide there.
— Jeremiah 50:33-40
