Jeremiah 51:45-50
New American Standard Bible
45 “(A)Come out from her midst, My people,
And each of you (B)save yourselves
From the fierce anger of the Lord.
46 Now, (C)so that your heart does not grow faint,
And you are not afraid at the (D)report that will be heard in the land—
For the report will come in [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)idols 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 everything that is in them
Will shout for joy over Babylon,
Because (I)the destroyers will come to her from the north,”
Declares the Lord.
49 (J)Indeed, Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel,
As (K)the slain of all the earth have also fallen for Babylon.
50 You (L)who have escaped the sword,
Go! Do not stay!
(M)Remember the Lord from far away,
And let Jerusalem [d]come to your mind.

Jeremiah 51:45-50
Christian Standard Bible
45 Come out from among her, my people!(A)
Save your lives, each of you,(B)
from the Lord’s burning anger.
46 May you not become cowardly and fearful
when the report is proclaimed in the land,
for the report will come one year,
and then another the next year.
There will be violence in the land
with ruler against ruler.
47 Therefore, look, the days are coming(C)
when I will punish Babylon’s carved images.(D)
Her entire land will suffer shame,
and all her slain will lie fallen within her.(E)
48 Heaven and earth and everything in them
will shout for joy(F) over Babylon
because the destroyers from the north(G)
will come against her.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
49 Babylon must fall because of the slain of Israel,
even as the slain of the whole earth fell
because of Babylon.
50 You who have escaped the sword,(H)
go and do not stand still!
Remember the Lord from far away,
and let Jerusalem come to your mind.
