Jeremiah 51:13-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. O you who dwell by many waters,abundant in treasures,your end has come,and the measure of your end.

14. The Lord of Hosts has sworn by Himself,saying: Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts,and they will lift up shouts of victory against you.

15. He has made the earth by His power;He has established the world by His wisdom,and has stretched out the heaven by His understanding.

16. When He utters His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens,and He causes the clouds to ascend from the remote parts of the earth;He makes lightning with rain,and brings out the wind from His storehouses.

17. Every man is ignorant by His knowledge;every founder is humiliated by the graven image,for his molded image is falsehood,and there is no breath in them.

18. They are vanity, the work of errors;in the time of their punishment they will perish.
