Jeremiah 51:49-51

The Voice

⁴⁹     As the slain of Israel fell, so must Babylon fall.
        As the slain of all the earth fell, so must Babylon fall.
⁵⁰     You who escape the blade of the sword
        must get out now. Don’t delay!
    Remember Me in that distant land;
        remember the Eternal, and think fondly of Jerusalem.
⁵¹     In that bittersweet moment,
        the remnant of My people will say,
    “We are ashamed—we have been insulted by invaders,
        and disgrace covers our faces
    When we think of foreigners entering the holy places of the Eternal’s temple
        and defiling it by their presence.”
