Jeremiah 51:53

A Message Concerning Babylon

⁵² For this reason, see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on her images; and through all her land the wounded will be crying out in pain. ⁵³ Even if Babylon was lifted up to heaven, even if she had the high places of her strength shut in with walls, still I would send against her those who will make her waste, says the Lord. ⁵⁴ There is the sound of a cry from Babylon, and of a great destruction from the land of the Chaldaeans:
