Jeremiah 51:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 The Lord Almighty has made this strong promise
with the authority of his own name:
‘I will cause the enemy's soldiers to fill your cities.
They will come like a big crowd of locusts.
They will shout loudly when they take your city for themselves.’
A song to praise the Lord[a]
15 The Lord used his power to make the earth.
He used his wisdom to make it strong.
He knew how to put the sky to cover the earth.
16 When he shouts like thunder,
the water in the sky roars.
He brings the clouds from the far places of the earth.
He causes bright lightning to show in the storms.
He opens his rooms so that the wind comes out
and it blows everywhere.
