Jeremiah 51:4

Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans

Jeremias 51:4 In-Context

2 Thus has the Lord God of Israel said; Ye have seen all the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon the cities of Juda; and, behold, they are desolate without inhabitants,

3 because of their wickedness, which they have wrought to provoke me, going to burn incense to other gods, whom ye knew not.

4 yet I sent to you my servants the prophets early in the morning, and I sent, saying, Do not ye this abominable thing which I hate.

5 But they hearkened not to me, and inclined not their ear to turn from their wickedness, so as not to burn incense to strange gods.

6 So mine anger and my wrath dropped , and was kindled in the gates of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they became a desolation and a waste, as at this day.
