Jeremiah 50:33-35

International Children’s Bible

“The people of Israel
    and Judah both are slaves.
The enemy took them as prisoners.
    And they won’t let them go.
³⁴ But God is strong and will buy them back.
    His name is the Lord of heaven’s armies.
He will defend them with power
    so he can give rest to their land.
    But he will not give rest to those living in Babylon.”

“Let a sword kill the people living in Babylon!
    Let a sword kill its officers and wise men!
