Jeremiah 51:50-52
New Living Translation
50 Get 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.”
51 “We are ashamed,” the people say.
“We are insulted and disgraced
because the Lord’s Temple
has been defiled by foreigners.”
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.
Jeremiah 51:50-52
New King James Version
50 (A)You who have escaped the sword,
Get away! Do not stand still!
(B)Remember the Lord afar off,
And let Jerusalem come to your mind.
51 (C)We are ashamed because we have heard reproach.
Shame has covered our faces,
For strangers (D)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.
