Jeremiah 50:40

40 I will destroy Babylonia just like I did
Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring towns.
No one will live there. ^{▼▼ Heb “‘Like [when] God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring towns,’ oracle of the Lord, ‘no man will live there.’” The Lord is speaking so the first person has been substituted for “God.” The sentence has again been broken up to better conform with contemporary English style.} ^{▼▼ Compare Jer 49:18 where the same prophecy is applied to Edom.}
No human being will settle in it,”
says the Lord. ^{▼▼ Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”}
