God's Message to the Israelites in Babylonia (JER 51:50-53)

[51:50] 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.

[51:51] You say, ‘We've been disgraced and made ashamed; we feel completely helpless because foreigners have taken over the holy places in the Temple.’

[51:52] 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.

[51:53] Even if Babylon could climb to the sky and build a strong fortress there, I would still send people to destroy it. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
