Jeremiah 51:52-54

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵² “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the Lord,
    when I will execute judgment upon her images,
and through all her land
    the wounded shall groan.
⁵³ Though Babylon should mount up to heaven,
    and though she should fortify her strong height,
yet destroyers would come from me upon her,
    says the Lord.

⁵⁴ “Hark! a cry from Babylon!
    The noise of great destruction from the land of the Chalde′ans!
