⁴²     The rising tide of the sea has flooded Babylon.
        She disappears beneath its raging waves.
⁴³     Her cities have become an object of horror.
        Her fruitful land has been left parched, like a desert,
        a wilderness where no one lives, where no wants to go.
⁴⁴     I will punish Bel, the false god of Babylon;
        I will make him cough up all he has swallowed.
    The nations will no longer make their way to worship him
        because even the great walls of Babylon have fallen.
