Jeremiah 50:26-28

International Children’s Bible

²⁶ Come against Babylon from far away.
    Break open her storehouses of grain.
    Pile up her dead bodies like big piles of grain.
Completely destroy Babylon
    and do not leave anyone alive.
²⁷ Kill all the young men in Babylon.
    Let them be killed.
The time has come for their defeat.
    How terrible it will be for them!
    It is time for them to be punished.
²⁸ Listen to the people running from the country of Babylon!
    They are telling Jerusalem
how the Lord our God is punishing Babylon as it deserves.
    This is because Babylon destroyed his Temple.
