Jeremiah 51:41-49 - Babylon's Fate
41 How hath Sheshach, been captured! How hath the praise of all the earth linen seized! How hath Babylon become an astonishment among the nations! 42 The sea, hath gone up over Babylon, - With the multitude of its rolling waves, is she covered. 43 Her cities have become, an astonishment, A land parched up, and a waste plain, - A land wherein shall no man dwell, Nor pass through them a son of the earth-born! 44 So will I bring punishment upon Bel in Babylon, And will bring forth what he hath swallowed out of his mouth, And the nations shall stream unto him no more, - Even the wall of Babylon hath fallen!
45 Come ye forth out of her midst O my people, And deliver ye every man his own life, - Because of the glow of the anger of Yahweh. 46 And let not your heart be timid, nor be ye afraid, Because of the report that is reported in the earth When there shall come in one year, the report And after that in another year, the report, With violence in the earth, and ruler upon ruler. 47 Therefore, lo! days coming when I will bring punishment upon the images of Babylon, And all her land, shall turn pale, - Yea, all her wounded, shall fall in her midst. 48 Then shall shout over Babylon - heavens and earth and all who are therein, - For out of the North, shall come to her the spoilers Declareth Yahweh.
49 Not only hath Babylon, caused the fall of the slain of Israel, - By Babylon, also have fallen the slain of all the earth.
