Jeremiah 51:45-50

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴⁵ Come out of her, my people!
Save yourselves, every one of you,
    from the Lord’s fierce anger.
⁴⁶ Do not be faint of heart.
Do not fear the rumors you will hear in the land.
Rumors will come one year,
and the next year another rumor will come:
“Violence in the land!”
“Ruler against ruler!”
⁴⁷ For the days are coming when I will punish the idols of Babylon.
Her whole land will be disgraced,
and all her slain will fall within her.
⁴⁸ Then the heavens and the earth and all that is in them
    will rejoice over Babylon.
The destroyers will attack her from the north, declares the Lord.
⁴⁹ Babylon must fall because of Israel’s slain,
just as the slain in all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.
