Jeremiah 51:54-56

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵⁴ “We can hear people crying in Babylon.
    We hear the sound of people destroying things in the land of Babylon.
⁵⁵ The Lord will destroy Babylon very soon.
    He will stop the loud noises in that city.
Enemies will come roaring in like ocean waves.
    People all around will hear that roar.
⁵⁶ The army will come and destroy Babylon.
    Its soldiers will be captured, and their bows will be broken,
This will happen because the Lord punishes people for the bad things they do.
    He gives them the full punishment they deserve.
