Context of Jeremiah 51:52

50You who have escaped the sword, go and do not stand still! Remember the Lord from far away, and let Jerusalem come to your mind. 51We are ashamed because we have heard insults. Humiliation covers our faces because foreigners have entered the holy places of the Lord’s temple. Therefore, look, the days are coming — this is the Lord’s declaration — when I will punish her carved images, and the wounded will groan throughout her land. 53Even if Babylon should ascend to the heavens and fortify her tall fortresses, destroyers will come against her from me. This is the Lord’s declaration. 54The sound of a cry from Babylon! The sound of terrible destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
