Jeremiah 51:41-49 - Babylon's Fate

41 O how was Sheshach won? O, how was the glory of the whole land taken? How happeneth it that Babylon is so wondered at among the Heathen? 42 The sea is risen over Babylon, and hath covered her with his great waves. 43 Her cities are laid waste, the land lieth unbuilded and void: it is a land where no man dwelleth, and where no man traveleth through. 44 Moreover, I will visit Bel at Babylon: and the thing that he hath swallowed up, that same shall I pluck out of his mouth. The Gentiles also shall run no more unto him; yea, and the walls of Babylon shall fall.

45 O my people, come out of Babylon: that every man may save his life from the fearful wrath of the LORD. 46 Be not faint hearted, and fear not at every rumor that shall be heard in the land: for every year bringeth new tidings; yea, strange wickedness and lordship. 47 And lo, the time cometh that I will visit the images of Babylon, and the whole land shall be confounded; yea, and her slain shall lie in the midst of her. 48 Heaven and earth, with all that is therein, shall rejoice over Babylon when the destroyers shall come upon her from the North, sayeth the LORD.

49 Like as Babylon hath beaten down and slain many out of Israel, so shall there fall many, and be slain, in all her kingdom.
