Jeremiah 51:49-51

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴⁹ Because the people of Babylon have killed many Israelites
and because they have killed many people throughout the earth,
Babylon must fall.
⁵⁰ You people who escaped from the sword, leave!
Don’t just stand there.
Remember the Lord in a distant land, and think about Jerusalem.
⁵¹ We have been put to shame, and we have been disgraced.
Shame covers our faces, because foreigners have gone
into the holy places of the Lord’s temple.
