Jeremiah 51:41-49 - Babylon's Fate

41 How Sheshach is taken, and the praise of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations! 42 The sea has come up upon Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. 43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, nor does any son of man pass thereby. 44 And I will execute judgment upon 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. Yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves each man from the fierce anger of LORD. 46 And let not your heart faint. Neither fear ye for the news that shall be heard in the land. For news shall come one year, and after that in another year, news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. 47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon. And her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. 48 Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon. For the destroyers shall come to her from the north, says LORD.

49 As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
