Jeremiah 51:45-50

Modern English Version

⁴⁵ My people, go out of her midst,
    and deliver every man his soul
    from the fierce anger of the Lord,
⁴⁶ lest your heart grows faint, and you are afraid
    for the report that will be heard in the land—
for the report will come one year, and after that in another year will come another report,
    and violence will be in the land,
    ruler against ruler—
⁴⁷ therefore the days are coming
    when I will punish the graven images of Babylon;
and her whole land will be humiliated,
    and all her slain will fall in her midst.
⁴⁸ Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is in it,
    shall sing for joy over Babylon;
for the destroyers will come to her
    from the north,
    says the Lord.

⁴⁹ As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall,
    so at Babylon the slain of all the earth will fall.
⁵⁰ You who have escaped the sword,
    go away, do not stand still.
Remember the Lord afar off,
    and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
