42. The sea has risen over Babylon;its roaring waves cover her.
43. Babylon’s towns are ruined and empty.It has become a dry, desert land,a land where no one lives.People do not even travel through Babylon.
44. I will punish the god Bel in Babylon.I will make him spit out what he has swallowed.Nations will no longer come to Babylon;even the wall around the city will fall.
45. “Come out of Babylon, my people!Run for your lives!Run from the Lord’s great anger.
