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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
45 Come out of her, my people!
Save your lives, each of you,
from the fierce anger of the Lord!(A)
46 Do not be fainthearted or fearful
at the rumors heard in the land—
one year one rumor comes,
the next year another,
rumors of violence in the land
and of ruler against ruler.(B)
47 Assuredly, the days are coming
when I will punish the images of Babylon;
her whole land shall be put to shame,
and all her slain shall fall in her midst.(C)
48 Then the heavens and the earth
and all that is in them
shall shout for joy over Babylon,
for the destroyers shall come against her out of the north,
says the Lord.(D)
49 Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel,
as the slain of all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.(E)
50 You survivors of the sword,
go; do not linger!
Remember the Lord in a distant land,
and let Jerusalem come into your mind:(F)
