Jeremiah 50:3-5
The Message
Get Out of Babylon as Fast as You Can
50 1-3 The Message of God through the prophet Jeremiah on Babylon, land of the Chaldeans:
“Get the word out to the nations! Preach it!
Go public with this, broadcast it far and wide:
Babylon taken, god-Bel hanging his head in shame,
god-Marduk exposed as a fraud.
All her god-idols shuffling in shame,
all her play-gods exposed as cheap frauds.
For a nation will come out of the north to attack her,
reduce her cities to rubble.
Empty of life—no animals, no people—
not a sound, not a movement, not a breath.
4-5 “In those days, at that time”—God’s Decree—
“the people of Israel will come,
And the people of Judah with them.
Walking and weeping, they’ll seek me, their God.
They’ll ask directions to Zion
and set their faces toward Zion.
They’ll come and hold tight to God,
bound in a covenant eternal they’ll never forget.
Jeremiah 50:3-5
New International Version
3 A nation from the north(A) will attack her
and lay waste her land.
No one will live(B) in it;
both people and animals(C) will flee away.
4 “In those days, at that time,”
declares the Lord,
“the people of Israel and the people of Judah together(D)
will go in tears(E) to seek(F) the Lord their God.
5 They will ask the way(G) to Zion
and turn their faces toward it.
They will come(H) and bind themselves to the Lord
in an everlasting covenant(I)
that will not be forgotten.
