40. I will bring them down like lambs to slaughter,like rams and goats.
41. How she has been seized, taken captive,the glory of the whole world!What a horror Babylon has become among the nations:
42. against Babylon the sea rises,she is overwhelmed by roaring waves!
43. Her cities have become wasteland,a parched and arid landWhere no one lives,no one passes through.
44. I will punish Bel in Babylon,and make him vomit up what he swallowed;nations shall no longer stream to him.Even the wall of Babylon falls!
45. Leave her, my people; each of you save your own lifefrom the burning wrath of the Lord.
