Jeremiah 50:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² “Announce this to the nations.
    Lift up a banner and tell them.
    Speak the whole message and say:
‘Babylon will be captured.
    The god Bel will be put to shame.
    The god Marduk will be very afraid.
Babylon’s idols will be put to shame.
    Her idols will be filled with terror!’
³ A nation from the north will attack Babylon.
    That nation will make Babylon like an empty desert.
No people will live there.
    Both men and animals will run away from there.”

⁴ The Lord says, “At that time
    the people of Israel and Judah will be together.
    They will cry and look for the Lord their God.
