⁴⁹ “Babylon’s people have killed my people Israel.
    They have also killed people all over the earth.
    So now Babylon itself must fall.
⁵⁰ You who have not been killed in the war against Babylon,
    leave! Do not wait!
In a land far away remember me.
    And think about Jerusalem.”

⁵¹ The people of Judah reply, “No one honors us anymore.
    People make fun of us.
    Our faces are covered with shame.
People from other lands have entered
    the holy places of the Lord’s house.”
