Jeremiah 50:34

Verse 34 of 46. The 50th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.

30Therefore her young men will fall in her streets. All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says the LORD.

31“Behold, I am against you, you proud one,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies; “for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.

32The proud one will stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up. I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are around him.”

33The LORD of Armies says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together. All who took them captive hold them fast. They refuse to let them go.

34Their Redeemer is strong. The LORD of Armies is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

35“A sword is on the Chaldeans,” says the LORD, “and on the inhabitants of Babylon, on her princes, and on her wise men.

36A sword is on the boasters, and they will become fools. A sword is on her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.

37A sword is on their horses, on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her; and they will become as women. A sword is on her treasures, and they will be robbed.

38A drought is on her waters, and they will be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they are mad over idols.
