Jeremiah 51:48-50

Expanded Bible

⁴⁸Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
will shout for joy about Babylon.
They will shout because the army comes from the north [^CPersia and its allies]
to destroy Babylon,” says the Lord.

⁴⁹“Babylon must fall, because ·she killed people from [^Lof the corpses of] Israel.
    ·She killed people from everywhere on [^L…and the corpses of all the] earth.
⁵⁰You who have escaped being killed with swords,
    ·leave Babylon [go; flee; depart]! Don’t wait!
    Remember the Lord in the faraway land
and ·think about Jerusalem [^Llet Jerusalem come up in your heart/mind].”
