Context of Jeremiah 51:52

50You 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. “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. 53The people of Babylon might go up to heaven. They might fortify their strongholds. But destroyers will still come from me against them,” declares the Lord. 54Cries of agony are heard from Babylon. Sounds of terrible destruction are heard from the land of the Babylonians.
