Jeremiah 51:50-52

Good News Translation

God's Message to the Israelites in Babylonia

⁵⁰ The Lord says to his people in Babylonia: “You have escaped death! Now go! Don't wait! Though you are far from home, think about me, your Lord, and remember Jerusalem. ⁵¹ You say, ‘We've been disgraced and made ashamed; we feel completely helpless because foreigners have taken over the holy places in the Temple.’ ⁵² So then, I say that the time is coming when I will deal with Babylon's idols, and the wounded will groan throughout the country.
