41How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
42The sea is come up on Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves of it.
43Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
44I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more to him: yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
45My people, go you out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of Yahweh.
46Don`t let your heart faint, neither fear you for the news that shall be heard in the land; for news shall come one year, and after that in another year [shall come] news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
