Jeremiah 51:51-53

New King James Version

^51 (A)We are ashamed because we have heard reproach.
Shame has covered our faces,
For strangers ^(B)have come into the ^[a]sanctuaries of the Lord’s house.

⁵² “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I will bring judgment on her carved images,
And throughout all her land the wounded shall groan.
^53 (C)Though Babylon were to ^[b]mount up to heaven,
And though she were to fortify the height of her strength,
Yet from Me plunderers would come to her,” says the Lord.
