Jeremiah 50:33-35

New International Reader's Version

“The people of Israel are being treated badly.
    So are the people of Judah.
Those who have captured them are holding them.
    They refuse to let them go.
³⁴ But I am strong and will save them.
    My name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.
I will stand up for them.
    I will bring peace and rest to their land.
    But I will bring trouble to those who live in Babylon.

³⁵ “A sword is coming against the Babylonians!”
    announces the Lord.
“It is coming against those who live in Babylon.
    It is coming against their officials and wise men.
