45. My people, go you out of the midst of her, and deliver yourselves every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46. And lest your heart faint, and you fear for the rumor that shall be heard in the land; a rumor shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47. Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do 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 heaven and the earth, and all that is in them, shall sing for Babylon: for the plunderers shall come unto her from the north,
49. As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
