Jeremiah 50:13

50:13 After I vent my wrath on it Babylon will be uninhabited. ¹ 

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. ² 

[50:13]  ¹ tn Heb “From [or Because of] the wrath of the Lord it will be uninhabited.” The causal connection is spelled out more clearly and actively and the first person has been used because the speaker is the Lord. The referent “it” has been spelled out clearly from the later occurrence in the verse, “all who pass by Babylon.”

[50:13]  ² sn Compare Jer 49:17 and the study note there and see also the study notes on 18:16 and 19:8.
