A Message Concerning Babylon

49 As Babylon had the dead of Israel put to the sword, so in Babylon the dead of all the land will be stretched out. 50 You who have got away safe from the sword, go, waiting for nothing; have the Lord in memory when you are far away, and keep Jerusalem in mind. 51 We are shamed because bitter words have come to our ears; our faces are covered with shame: for men from strange lands have come into the holy places of the Lord's house.
