Jeremiah 51:53 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Even if Babylon built itself up to the sky and made itself seem totally untouchable, I'm still sending people to take it down completely, says the Lord.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

No matter how powerful someone gets, God's judgment is still coming for those who deserve it.
