Jeremiah 50:10-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. Chaldea shall be plundered; all who plunder her shall be sated, declares the Lord.

11. “Though you rejoice, though you exult,O plunderers of my heritage,though you frolic like a heifer in the pasture,and neigh like stallions,

12. your mother shall be utterly shamed,and she who bore you shall be disgraced.Behold, she shall be the last of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

13. Because of the wrath of the Lord she shall not be inhabitedbut shall be an utter desolation; everyone who passes by Babylon shall be appalled, and hiss because of all her wounds.

14. Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow;shoot at her, spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the Lord.

15. Raise a shout against her all around;she has surrendered;her bulwarks have fallen; her walls are thrown down.For this is the vengeance of the Lord:take vengeance on her; do to her as she has done.
