Jeremiah 51:49-53
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 51
49Indeed, Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel, As the slain of all the earth have also fallen for Babylon. 50You who have escaped the sword, Go! Do not stay! Remember the Lord from far away, And let Jerusalem come to your mind. 51We are ashamed because we have heard rebuke; Disgrace has covered our faces, Because strangers have entered The holy places of the Lord’S house. 52'Therefore behold, the days are coming,' declares the Lord, 'When I will punish her idols, And the mortally wounded will groan throughout her land. 53Though Babylon ascends to the heavens, And though she fortifies her lofty stronghold, Destroyers will come from Me to her,' declares the Lord.King James Version
Chapter 51
49As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. 50Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. 51We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD'S house. 52Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan. 53Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
Chapter 51
49'Just as Babylon killed the people of Israel and others throughout the world, so must her people be killed. 50Get out, all you who have escaped the sword! Do not stand and watch — flee while you can! Remember the Lord, though you are in a far-off land, and think about your home in Jerusalem.'
52'Yes,' says the Lord, 'but the time is coming when I will destroy Babylon’s idols. The groans of her wounded people will be heard throughout the land.
53Though Babylon reaches as high as the heavens and makes her fortifications incredibly strong, I will still send enemies to plunder her. I, the Lord, have spoken!

Chapter 51
49Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel, just as for Babylon have fallen the slain of all the earth. 50“You who have escaped from the sword, go, do not stand still! Remember the LORD from far away, and let Jerusalem come into your mind: 51‘We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; dishonor has covered our face, for foreigners have come into the holy places of the LORD’s house.’ 52“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will execute judgment upon her images, and through all her land the wounded shall groan. 53Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify her strong height, yet destroyers would come from me against her, declares the LORD.New International Version
