A dry land and a wilderness,
A land where bno one dwells,
Through which no son of man passes.
And I will bring out of his mouth what he has swallowed;
And the nations shall not stream to him anymore.
Yes, bthe wall of Babylon shall fall.
And let everyone deliver1 himself from the fierce anger of the Lord.
And you fear afor the rumor that will be heard in the land
(A rumor will come one year,
And after that, in another year
A rumor will come,
And violence in the land,
Ruler against ruler),
That I will bring judgment on the carved images of Babylon;
Her whole land shall be ashamed,
And all her slain shall fall in her midst.
Shall sing joyously over Babylon;
bFor the plunderers shall come to her from the north,” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:44
I will punish Bel in Babylon - Bel or Belus was their supreme deity.
That which he hath swallowed up - The sacred vessels of the temple of Jerusalem, which were taken thence by Nebuchadnezzar, and dedicated to him in his temple at Babylon.
The wall of Babylon shall fall - It shall cease to be a defense; and shall moulder away until, in process of time, it shall not be discernible.
| << Jeremiah 51:43 | Jeremiah 51:45 >> |
