Context of Jeremiah 51:50

48Then heaven and earth and everything in them will rejoice over Babylon, because destroyers from the north will attack it,” declares the Lord. 49Because the people of Babylon have killed many Israelites and because they have killed many people throughout the earth, Babylon must fall. You people who escaped from the sword, leave! Don’t just stand there. Remember the Lord in a distant land, and think about Jerusalem. 51We have been put to shame, and we have been disgraced. Shame covers our faces, because foreigners have gone into the holy places of the Lord’s temple. 52“That is why the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will punish their idols, and those who are wounded will moan everywhere in the land.
