Jeremiah 50 talks about the fall of Babylon and the liberation of the people of Israel from captivity. Following are five verses from other Bible books that relate to the topics covered in this chapter:
Isaiah 48:20: "I left Babylon, ran away from the Chaldeans, with a voice of joy, proclaim this, disclose until the end of the earth; Say: The Lord redeemed to his servant Jacob!" This verse talks about the liberation of the people of Israel of Babylon and the joy it brings.
Isaiah 52:11: "Take remove, get out, I left, you do not touch it, I got out of it, purify you, you who take the utensils of the Lord." This verse also talks about the departure of the people of Israel from Babylon and the need to purify themselves to be in communion with God.
Jeremiah 51:6: "I ran away from the midst of Babylon, and each one saves his life; Do not be exterminated in his injustice; for this is the time of the revenge of the Lord; He shall give him the paid."
