40
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
41
How is Sheshakh taken! and the praise of the whole eretz seized! how is Bavel become a desolation among the nations!
42
The sea is come up on Bavel; she is covered with the multitude of the waves of it.
43
Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
44
I will execute judgment on Bel in Bavel, 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: yes, the wall of Bavel shall fall.
45
My people, go you out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46
Don't let your heart faint, neither fear for the news that shall be heard in the land; for news shall come one year, and after that in another year [shall come] news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Bavel; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48
Then the heavens and the eretz, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Bavel; for the destroyers shall come to her from the north, says the LORD.
49
As Bavel has caused the slain of Yisra'el to fall, so at Bavel shall fall the slain of all the land.
50
You who have escaped the sword, go you, don't stand still; remember the LORD from afar, and let Yerushalayim come into your mind.
