Jeremiah 51:48-56
48Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon because the destroyers from the north will come against her,” declares the LORD.49“Babylon must fall on account of the slain of Israel, just as the slain of all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.50You who have escaped the sword, depart and do not linger! Remember the LORD from far away, and let Jerusalem come to mind.”
51“We are ashamed because we have heard reproach;disgrace has covered our faces,because foreigners have enteredthe holy places of the LORD’s house.”
52“Therefore, behold, the days are coming,”declares the LORD,“when I will punish her idols,and throughout her land the wounded will groan.53Even if Babylon ascends to the heavensand fortifies her lofty stronghold,the destroyers I send will come against her,”declares the LORD.
54“The sound of a crycomes from Babylon,the sound of great destructionfrom the land of the Chaldeans!55For the LORD will destroy Babylon;He will silence her mighty voice.The waves will roar like great waters;the tumult of their voices will resound.
56For a destroyer is coming against her—against Babylon.Her warriors will be captured,and their bows will be broken,for the LORD is a God of retribution;He will repay in full.
