Jeremiah 51:49-51

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴⁹Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel,
as the slain of all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.

⁵⁰You survivors of the sword,
    go, do not linger!
Remember the Lord in a distant land,
    and let Jerusalem come into your mind:
⁵¹We are put to shame, for we have heard insults;
    dishonour has covered our face,
for aliens have come
    into the holy places of the Lord’s house.
