Tial tiele diras la Eternulo:Jen Mi jugxos vian aferon kaj Mi faros vengxon pro vi, Mi sekigos gxian maron kaj Mi senakvigos gxian fonton.
What Does This Mean?
In Jeremiah 51:36, God is speaking and promises to defend and avenge the people He cares for. He says He will dry up the sea and springs of Babylon, symbolizing its destruction and fall.
Explained for Children
Imagine your favorite swimming pool drying up because someone drained all the water. That's what God is saying He will do to a place called Babylon to show His power and protect His people.
Historical Background
Jeremiah 51:36 is part of the prophetic book written by the prophet Jeremiah around 600 B.C. The audience was the Jewish people, and it was written during a time when Babylon was a powerful empire threatening the Israelites.
Living It Out Today
In a modern context, if you feel wronged or threatened, remember that God is a defender and can bring justice. For example, if a company is mistreating its employees, God promises to intervene and right the wrongs.
