45 “My people, go away from the middle of her,
    and each of you save yourselves from Yahweh’s fierce anger.
46 Don’t let your heart faint.
    Don’t fear for the news that will be heard in the land.
For news will come one year,
    and after that in another year news will come,
    and violence in the land,
    ruler against ruler.
47 Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon;
    and her whole land will be confounded.
    All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
48 Then the heavens and the earth,
    and all that is therein,
will sing for joy over Babylon;
    for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says Yahweh.

49 “As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall,
    so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.
50 You who have escaped the sword, go!
    Don’t stand still!
Remember Yahweh from afar,
    and let Jerusalem come into your mind.”

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.
