Read in context

Jeremiah 50:34–38 · Berean Standard Bible

34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will fervently plead their case so that He may bring rest to the earth, but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.

35 A sword is against the Chaldeans, declares the LORD, against those who live in Babylon, and against her officials and wise men.

36 A sword is against her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is against her warriors, and they will be filled with terror.

37 A sword is against her horses and chariots and against all the foreigners in her midst, and they will become like women. A sword is against her treasuries, and they will be plundered.

38 A drought is upon her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and the people go mad over idols.
