50:3 For a nation from the north
It will lay her land waste.
People and animals will flee out of it.
No one will inhabit it.’
50:13 After I vent my wrath on it Babylon will be uninhabited.
It will be totally desolate.
All who pass by will be filled with horror and will hiss out their scorn
because of all the disasters that have happened to it.
50:21 The Lord says,
“Attack
and the people who live in Pekod!
Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them!
Do just as I have commanded you!
50:39 Therefore desert creatures and jackals will live there.
Ostriches
But no people will ever live there again.
No one will dwell there for all time to come.
50:45 So listen to what I, the Lord, have planned against Babylon,
what I intend to do to the people who inhabit the land of Babylonia.
Their little ones will be dragged off.
I will completely destroy their land because of what they have done.
