Jeremiah 51:50-53 - God's Message To The Israelites In Babylonia

50 You who have escaped the sword, go, do not delay. Remember the Lord in a faraway land. Think about Jerusalem.

51 We are ashamed because we have been insulted. Our faces show our disgrace. For foreigners have invaded the holy rooms in the Lord's temple.'

52 Yes, but the time will certainly come," says the Lord, "when I will punish her idols. Throughout her land the mortally wounded will groan. 53 Even if Babylon climbs high into the sky and fortifies her elevated stronghold, I will send destroyers against her," says the Lord.
