Jeremiah 51:51-53

New Catholic Bible

⁵¹ We have been put to shame
    because of the insults we have endured.
Our faces were covered in confusion
    because foreigners have dared to enter
    the holy places of the Lord’s house.
⁵² However, the days are surely coming,
    says the Lord,
when I will punish her idols,
    and the wounded will groan
    throughout all her land.
⁵³ Even if Babylon were to scale the heavens
    and reinforce her inaccessible citadel,
I would send forth destroyers,
    and they would come to her.
