Jeremiah 50:2-4
New Catholic Bible
Jeremiah 50:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Declare this among the nations and proclaim it;
lift up a banner and proclaim it;
keep nothing back, but announce,
“Babylon will be captured;
Bel[a] will be put to shame;
Marduk will be dismayed.
Her images are disgraced;
her idols are shattered.”
3 A nation from the north is marching against her
that will turn her land into a desolate waste,
so that no one will be able to live there anymore;
both men and beasts have fled and are gone.
4 In those days and at that time,
says the Lord,
the people of Israel and of Judah will come,
weeping as they seek the Lord, their God.
