40As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah
along with their neighbors,” declares the LORD,
“no one will dwell there;
no man will abide there.
41Behold, an army is coming from the north;
a great nation and many kings are stirred up
from the ends of the earth.
42They grasp the bow and spear;
they are cruel and merciless.
Their voice roars like the sea,
and they ride upon horses,
lined up like men in formation
against you, O Daughter of Babylon.
— Jeremiah 50:40-42
