42 (A)The sea has come up over Babylon;
She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 (B)Her cities are a desolation,
A dry land and a wilderness,
A land where (C)no one dwells,
Through which no son of man passes.
44 I will punish (D)Bel[a] in Babylon,
And I will bring out of his mouth what he has swallowed;
And the nations shall not stream to him anymore.
Yes, (E)the wall of Babylon shall fall.

    its roaring waves(A) will cover her.
43 Her towns will be desolate,
    a dry and desert(B) land,
a land where no one lives,
    through which no one travels.(C)
44 I will punish Bel(D) in Babylon
    and make him spew out(E) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
    And the wall(F) of Babylon will fall.
