Jeremiah 51:48-56

48Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith Yhwh.

49As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.12

50Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember Yhwh afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.

51We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Yhwh's house.

52Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.

53Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Yhwh.

54A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

55Because Yhwh hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

56Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for Yhwh God of recompences shall surely requite.
