Jeremiah 50:26-28
Expanded Bible
26 Come against it [C Babylon] from far away.
Break open her storehouses of grain.
Pile them up [C dead bodies] like heaps of grain.
·Completely destroy Babylon [L Annihilate it]
and ·do not leave anyone alive [L let there be no remnant].
27 ·Kill [L Put to the sword] all its bulls [C the young men in Babylon];
let them go down to the slaughter [C killed like animals].
·How terrible it will be for [Woe to] them, because ·the time has come for their defeat [L their day has come];
it is time for them to be punished.
28 Listen to the people ·running [fleeing] to escape the country of Babylon!
They are telling ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple]
how the Lord our God is punishing Babylon as it deserves
for destroying his Temple.
