46 Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful
    (A)at the report heard in the land,
(B)when a report comes in one year
    and afterward a report in another year,
and violence is in the land,
    (C)and ruler is against ruler.

47 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming
    when (D)I will punish the images of Babylon;
(E)her whole land shall be put to shame,
    and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 (F)Then the heavens and the earth,
    and all that is in them,
shall sing for joy over Babylon,
    (G)for the destroyers shall come against them out of the north,
declares the Lord.
49 Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel,
    (H)just as for Babylon have fallen the slain of all the earth.
