Jeremiah 49:18

Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Saith Yahweh,—There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—any son of the earth-born.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.

In Context

17So shall, Edom, become an astonishment,—Every one passing by her, will be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues:

19Lo! like a lion, will he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make him run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom over it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand before, me?
