Jeremiah 51:53

A Message Concerning Babylon

⁵² Yes, but the time will certainly come," says the Lord, "when I will punish her idols. Throughout her land the mortally wounded will groan. ⁵³ Even if Babylon climbs high into the sky and fortifies her elevated stronghold, I will send destroyers against her," says the Lord. ⁵⁴ Cries of anguish will come from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Babylonians.
