⁵¹ “We people of Judah are disgraced,
    because we have been ·insulted [reproached].
    ·We have been shamed [^LShame/Humiliation covers our face],
because strangers have gone into
    the holy places of the Lord’s Temple [^Lhouse]!”

⁵² So the Lord says, “The ·time is [^Ldays are] coming soon
    when I will punish the idols of Babylon.
Wounded people will ·cry with pain [groan]
    all over that land.
⁵³ Even if Babylon grows until she touches the ·sky [heavens],
    and even if she ·makes her highest cities strong [fortifies her lofty stronghold],
    I will send people to destroy her,” says the Lord.
