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.
Jeremiah 51:45-50
Authorized (King James) Version
45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her,
and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.
46 And lest your heart faint,
and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land;
a rumour shall both come one year,
and after that in another year shall come a rumour,
and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 Therefore, behold, the days come,
that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon:
and her whole land shall be confounded,
and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon:
for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord.
49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall,
so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword,
go away, stand not still:
remember the Lord afar off,
and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
