Jeremiah 50:12-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. Your mother will indeed be put to shame,she that bore you shall be abashed;See, the last of the nations,a wilderness, a dry wasteland.

13. Because of the Lord’s wrath it shall be uninhabited,become an utter wasteland;Everyone who passes by Babylon will be appalledand hiss at all its wounds.

14. Take your posts encircling Babylon,you who bend the bow;Shoot at it, do not spare your arrows,

15. raise the war cry against it on every side.It surrenders, its bastions fall,its walls are torn down:This is retribution from the Lord! Take retribution on her,as she has done, do to her;for she sinned against the Lord.
