Jeremiah 50:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³The Lord will show his anger,
    so no one will live there.
    Babylon will be completely empty.
Everyone who passes by Babylon will be afraid.
    They will shake their heads when they see how badly it has been destroyed.

¹⁴“Prepare for war against Babylon.
    All you soldiers with bows, shoot your arrows at Babylon.
Don’t save any of your arrows.
    Babylon has sinned against the Lord.
¹⁵Soldiers around Babylon, shout the cry of victory!
    Babylon has surrendered!
    Her walls and towers have been pulled down!
The Lord is giving her people the punishment they deserve.
    You nations should give Babylon the punishment she deserves.
    Do to her what she has done to other nations.
