Jeremiah 51:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 But suddenly, Babylon will fall
and be destroyed.
I, the Lord, told the foreigners[a]
who lived there,
“Weep for the city!
Get medicine for its wounds;
maybe they will heal.”
9 The foreigners answered,
“We have already tried
to treat Babylon's wounds,
but they would not heal.
Come on, let's all go home
to our own countries.
Nothing is left in Babylonia;
everything is destroyed.”
10 The people of Israel said,
“Tell everyone in Zion!
The Lord has taken revenge
for what Babylon did to us.”
Footnotes
- 51.8 the foreigners: Or “my people.”
