And you fear afor the rumor that will be heard in the land
(A rumor will come one year,
And after that, in another year
A rumor will come,
And violence in the land,
Ruler against ruler),
That I will bring judgment on the carved images of Babylon;
Her whole land shall be ashamed,
And all her slain shall fall in her midst.
Shall sing joyously over Babylon;
bFor the plunderers shall come to her from the north,” says the Lord.
So at Babylon the slain of all the earth shall fall.
Get away! Do not stand still!
bRemember the Lord afar off,
And let Jerusalem come to your mind.
| << Jeremiah 51:47 | Jeremiah 51:49 >> |
