42. The sea has come up over Babylon;She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43. Her cities are a desolation,A dry land and a wilderness,A land where no one dwells,Through which no son of man passes.
44. I will punish Bel in Babylon,And I will bring out of his mouth what he has swallowed;And the nations shall not stream to him anymore.Yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
45. “My people, go out of the midst of her!And let everyone deliver himself from the fierce anger of the Lord.
46. And lest your heart faint,And you fear for the rumor that will be heard in the land(A rumor will come one year,And after that, in another yearA rumor will come,And violence in the land,Ruler against ruler),
47. Therefore behold, the days are comingThat I will bring judgment on the carved images of Babylon;Her whole land shall be ashamed,And all her slain shall fall in her midst.
