Jeremiah 51:51-53

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵¹ “We people of Judah are ashamed.
    We have been insulted,
because strangers have gone into
    the holy places of the Lord’s Temple.”

⁵² The Lord says, “The time is coming,
    when I will punish the idols of Babylon.
At that time wounded people will cry
    with pain everywhere in that country.
⁵³ Babylon might grow until she touches the sky.
    Babylon might make her forts strong,
but I will send people to fight against that city.
    And they will destroy her.”
This is what the Lord said.
