Jeremiah 51:51-53

Christian Standard Bible

⁵¹ We are ashamed
because we have heard insults.^(A)
Humiliation covers our faces
because foreigners have entered
the holy places of the Lord’s temple.^(B)

⁵² Therefore, look, the days are coming—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
when I will punish her carved images,
and the wounded will groan
throughout her land.
⁵³ Even if Babylon should ascend to the heavens^(C)
and fortify her tall fortresses,
destroyers will come against her from me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
