Jeremiah 50 is the fiftieth chapter of the Book of Jeremiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains prophecies attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, and is one of the Books of the Prophets. This chapter is part of a series of "oracles against foreign nations", consisting of chapters 46 to 51.[1] Chapters 50 and 51 focus on Babylon.[2][3] The New American Bible (Revised Edition) denotes chapter 50 as "the first oracle against Babylon" and chapter 51 as "the second oracle".[4] An unnamed "enemy from the North" is predicted to reduce imperial Babylon "to a wasteland".[2]
