Jeremiah 51:52-54

Contemporary English Version

⁵² Soon I will send a war
    to punish Babylon's idols
and leave its wounded people
    moaning everywhere.
⁵³ Although Babylon's walls
    reach to the sky,
the army I send
    will destroy that city.
I, the Lord, have spoken.

⁵⁴ Listen to the cries for help
    coming from Babylon.
Everywhere in the country
the sounds of destruction
    can be heard.
