Jeremiah 50:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ Come against it [^CBabylon] from far away.
    Break open her storehouses of grain.
    Pile them up [^Cdead bodies] like heaps of grain.
·Completely destroy Babylon [^LAnnihilate it]
    and ·do not leave anyone alive [^Llet there be no remnant].
²⁷ ·Kill [^LPut to the sword] all its bulls [^Cthe young men in Babylon];
    let them go down to the slaughter [^Ckilled like animals].
·How terrible it will be for [Woe to] them, because ·the time has come for their defeat [^Ltheir day has come];
    it is time for them to be punished.
²⁸ Listen to the people ·running [fleeing] to escape the country of Babylon!
    They are telling ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple]
how the Lord our God is punishing Babylon as it deserves
    for destroying his Temple.
