Context of Jeremiah 51:48

46Now, so that your heart does not grow faint, And you are not afraid at the report that will be heard in the land-- For the report will come in one year, And after that another report in another year, And violence will be in the land With ruler against ruler-- 47Therefore behold, days are coming When I will punish the idols of Babylon; And her whole land will be put to shame. And all her slain will fall in her midst. Then heaven and earth and everything that is in them Will shout for joy over Babylon, Because the destroyers will come to her from the north,” Declares the Lord. 49Indeed, Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel, As the slain of all the earth have also fallen for Babylon. 50You who have escaped the sword, Go! Do not stay! Remember the Lord from far away, And let Jerusalem come to your mind.
