So at Babylon the slain of all the earth shall fall.

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.
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.

For strangers bhave come into the sanctuaries of the Lord’s house.

“That I will bring judgment on her carved images,
And throughout all her land the wounded shall groan.

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.
And though she were to fortify the height of her strength,
Yet from Me plunderers would come to her,” says the Lord.
