Jeremiah 51:48-56

48Then 1heaven and earth and everything that is in them Will shout for joy over Babylon, Because 2the destroyers will come to her from the north,” Declares the Lord.

493Indeed, Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel, As 4the slain of all the earth have also fallen for Babylon.50You 5who have escaped the sword, Go! Do not stay! 6Remember the Lord from far away, And let Jerusalem 7come to your mind.518We are ashamed because we have heard rebuke; Disgrace has covered our faces, Because 9strangers have entered The holy places of the Lord’s house.

52“Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “When I will punish her 10idols, And the mortally wounded will groan throughout her land.53Though Babylon 11ascends to the heavens, And though she fortifies 12her lofty stronghold, Destroyers will come from 13Me to her,” declares the Lord.

54The 14sound of an outcry from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!55For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon, And He will make her loud 15noise vanish from her. And their 16waves will roar like many waters; The clamor of their voices 17sounds forth.56For the 18destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon, And her warriors will be captured, Their 19bows shattered; For the Lord is a God of 20retribution, He will fully repay.
