Jeremiah 51:52

Jeremiah 51:52

50 ^aYou who have escaped the sword,
Get away! Do not stand still!
^bRemember the Lord afar off,
And let Jerusalem come to your mind.

51 ^aWe are ashamed because we have heard reproach.
Shame has covered our faces,
For strangers ^bhave come into the 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 ^aThough Babylon were to¹ 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.

54 ^aThe sound of a cry comes from Babylon,
And great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans,

Wherefore—because of these sighs of the Jews directed to God (Jeremiah 51:21).

I . . . judgment upon . . . images—in opposition to the Babylonian taunt that Jehovah's religion was a thing of naught, since they had burned His temple (Jeremiah 51:51): I will show that, though I have thus visited the Jews neglect of Me, yet those gods of Babylon cannot save themselves, much less their votaries, who shall "through all her land" lie and "groan" with wounds.
