Jeremiah 51:41-49 - Babylon's Fate
41 How Sheshak has been captured, and the praise of the whole earth been seized! How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations! 42 The sea has come up over Babylon. She has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves. 43 Her cities have become an object of horror, a parched land and a desert, a land in which no man lives and through which no son of man passes. 44 I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make Bel spit out everything that it has swallowed. Nations will no longer stream to Babylon. Its walls will fall.
45 Get out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the burning anger of Jehovah. 46 Do not lose courage or be afraid when rumors are heard in the land. One rumor comes one year; another rumor comes the next year. Rumors of violence are in the land. Rumors that one ruler will fight against another are in the land. 47 That is why the days are coming when I will punish Babylon's idols. The whole country will be put to shame, and all its soldiers will lie dead. 48 Then heaven and earth and everything in them will rejoice over Babylon. Destroyers from the north will attack it, declares Jehovah.
49 Because the people of Babylon have killed many Israelites and because they have killed many people throughout the earth, Babylon must fall.
