Jeremiah 50:31-33

Easy-to-Read Version

³¹ “Babylon, you are too proud,
    and I am against you,”
    says the Lord God All-Powerful.
“I am against you,
    and the time has come for you to be punished.
³² Proud Babylon will stumble and fall,
    and no one will help her get up.
I will start a fire in her towns.
    That fire will completely burn up everyone around her.”

³³ This is what the Lord All-Powerful says:
“The people of Israel and Judah are slaves.
    The enemy took them, and the enemy will not let Israel go.
