Jeremiah 51:54-56

International Children’s Bible

⁵⁴ “We can hear people crying in Babylon.
    We hear the sound of people destroying things
    in the land of the Babylonians.
⁵⁵ The Lord will destroy Babylon.
    He will make the loud sounds of the city become silent.
Enemies will come roaring in like ocean waves.
    People all around will hear that roar.
⁵⁶ The army will come and destroy Babylon.
    Babylon’s soldiers will be taken captive.
    Their bows will be broken.
This is because the Lord is a God who punishes people for the evil they do.
    He gives them the full punishment they deserve.
