Jeremiah 51:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
Jeremiah 51:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 Do not give Babylon's soldiers time to pick up their weapons!
Do not give them time to put on their armour!
Kill all their young men.
Completely destroy their whole army.
4 Their dead bodies will lie on the ground
all over Babylonia and in the streets of the city.
5 The Lord Almighty, Israel's God,
will not leave Israel and Judah on their own.
Those people are guilty of many bad things
that they have done against Israel's holy God.[a]
Footnotes
- 51:5 ‘Those people’ probably means the people of Babylonia. See Jeremiah 50:29. It might mean the people of Israel and Judah, who did bad things against the Lord, but he continued to be with them.
