Jeremiah 51:46-48

Contemporary English Version

⁴⁶ Don't be afraid or lose hope,
though year after year
    there are rumors
of leaders fighting for control
    in the city of Babylon.
⁴⁷ The time will come
when I will punish
    Babylon's false gods.
Everyone there will die,
and the whole nation
    will be disgraced,
^48 (A) when an army attacks
from the north
    and brings destruction.
Then the earth and the heavens
and everything in them
    will celebrate.
