A sword is against her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.
Against their chariots,
And against all athe mixed peoples who are in her midst;
And bthey will become like women.
A sword is against her treasures, and they will be robbed.
For it is the land of carved images,
And they are insane with their idols.
And the ostriches shall dwell in it.
bIt shall be inhabited no more forever,
Nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“So no one shall reside there,
Nor son of man bdwell in it.
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
| << Jeremiah 50:37 | Jeremiah 50:39 >> |
