⁴² The sea has come up over Babylon;
    she has been covered with the multitude of the waves.
⁴³ Her cities have become a desolation,
    a dry land and a wilderness,
a land in which no man dwells,
    through which no son of man passes.
⁴⁴ I will punish Bel in Babylon,
    and I will bring forth from his mouth what he has swallowed up;
and the nations will not flow together any more to him.
    Indeed, the wall of Babylon will fall.
