Jeremiah 51:44

42 ^aThe sea has come up over Babylon;
She is covered with the multitude of its waves.

43 ^aHer cities are a desolation,
A dry land and a wilderness,
A land where ^bno one dwells,
Through which no son of man passes.

44 I will punish ^aBel in Babylon,
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.

45 “My^a people, go out of the midst of her!
And let everyone deliver¹ himself from the fierce anger of the Lord.

46 And lest your heart faint,
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),

47 Therefore behold, the days are coming
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.

48 Then ^athe heavens and the earth and all that is in them
Shall sing joyously over Babylon;
^bFor the plunderers shall come to her from the north,” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:44

The sacred vessels plundered from Jerusalem, and laid up in the very temple of Bel, should be restored; the men and women dragged from other lands to people the city, released; and its wall falling would show the insignificance to which it should be reduced.
