Jeremiah 51:45-50
New Living Translation
A Message for the Exiles
45 “Come out, my people, flee from Babylon.
Save yourselves! Run from the Lord’s fierce anger.
46 But do not panic; don’t be afraid
when you hear the first rumor of approaching forces.
For rumors will keep coming year by year.
Violence will erupt in the land
as the leaders fight against each other.
47 For the time is surely coming
when I will punish this great city and all her idols.
Her whole land will be disgraced,
and her dead will lie in the streets.
48 Then the heavens and earth will rejoice,
for out of the north will come destroying armies
against Babylon,” says the Lord.
49 “Just as Babylon killed the people of Israel
and others throughout the world,
so must her people be killed.
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.”
Jeremiah 51:45-50
Legacy Standard Bible
45 “(A)Come forth from her midst, My people,
And each of you (B)escape with his life
From the burning anger of Yahweh.
46 Now (C)lest your heart grow faint,
And you fear the (D)report that will be heard in the land—
For the report will come [a]one year,
And after that [b]another report in [c]another year,
And violence will be in the land
With (E)ruler against ruler—
47 Therefore behold, days are coming
When I will punish the (F)graven images of Babylon;
And her whole land will be (G)put to shame,
And all her slain will fall in her midst.
48 Then (H)heaven and earth and all that is in them
Will shout for joy over Babylon,
For (I)the destroyers will come to her from the north,”
Declares Yahweh.
49 (J)Indeed Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel,
As also for Babylon (K)the slain of all the earth have fallen.
50 You (L)who have escaped the sword,
Go! Do not stand around!
(M)Remember Yahweh from afar,
And let Jerusalem come upon your heart.
