41. How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
42. The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43. Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
44. And I will do judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
45. My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of the Lord.
