Context of Jeremiah 51:50

48Then everyone in heaven and everyone on the earth will shout with joy because of what happens to Babylon. They will be happy because an army will come from the north to destroy it.’ That is what the Lord says. 49‘Babylon's people have caused the death of people everywhere. They have killed many Israelites. So now Babylon must lose its power. You Israelites who are still alive, leave Babylon now! Do not wait! You are far away from your homes. But remember that the Lord is with you. Think about Jerusalem. 51You say, “We are ashamed. People have insulted us. We hide our faces in shame because foreigners have gone into the holy places of the Lord's temple.” ’ 52But the Lord says this: ‘The time will soon come when I will punish Babylon's idols. People everywhere in that land will cry with pain, because their wounds are causing them to die.
