Jeremiah 51:49-51

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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

⁵⁰“You that have escaped from the sword,
    go, stand not still!
Remember the Lord from afar,
    and let Jerusalem come into your mind:
⁵¹‘We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach;
    dishonor has covered our face,
for aliens have come
    into the holy places of the Lord’s house.’
