“The sea has come up over Babylon;
She has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves.
43 
“Her cities have become an astonishing desolation and an object of horror,
A parched land and a desert,
A land in which no one lives,
And through which no son of man passes.
44

And take out of his mouth what he has swallowed up [the stolen sacred articles and the captives of Judah and elsewhere].
The nations will no longer flow to him.
Yes, the wall of Babylon has fallen down!

44 I will punish Bel(D) in Babylon

The nations will no longer stream to him.
    And the wall(F) of Babylon will fall.
