Jeremiah 51:45-50
Legacy Standard Bible
45 “(A)Come forth from her midst, My people,
And each of you (B)escape with his life
From the burning anger of Yahweh.
46 Now (C)lest your heart grow faint,
And you fear the (D)report that will be heard in the land—
For the report will come [a]one year,
And after that [b]another report in [c]another year,
And violence will be in the land
With (E)ruler against ruler—
47 Therefore behold, days are coming
When I will punish the (F)graven images of Babylon;
And her whole land will be (G)put to shame,
And all her slain will fall in her midst.
48 Then (H)heaven and earth and all that is in them
Will shout for joy over Babylon,
For (I)the destroyers will come to her from the north,”
Declares Yahweh.
49 (J)Indeed Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel,
As also for Babylon (K)the slain of all the earth have fallen.
50 You (L)who have escaped the sword,
Go! Do not stand around!
(M)Remember Yahweh from afar,
And let Jerusalem come upon your heart.

English Standard Version
45 “Go out of the midst of her, (A)my people!
Let every one save his life
from (B)the fierce anger of the Lord!
46 Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful
(C)at the report heard in the land,
(D)when a report comes in one year
and afterward a report in another year,
and violence is in the land,
(E)and ruler is against ruler.
47 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming
when (F)I will punish the images of Babylon;
(G)her whole land shall be put to shame,
and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 (H)Then the heavens and the earth,
and all that is in them,
shall sing for joy over Babylon,
(I)for the destroyers shall come against them out of the north,
declares the Lord.
49 Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel,
(J)just as for Babylon have fallen the slain of all the earth.
50 (K)“You who have escaped from the sword,
go, do not stand still!
Remember the Lord from far away,
and let Jerusalem come into your mind:
