Jeremiah 51:45-50
English Standard Version
45 “Go out of the midst of her, (A)my people!
Let every one save his life
from (B)the fierce anger of the Lord!
46 Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful
(C)at the report heard in the land,
(D)when a report comes in one year
and afterward a report in another year,
and violence is in the land,
(E)and ruler is against ruler.
47 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming
when (F)I will punish the images of Babylon;
(G)her whole land shall be put to shame,
and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 (H)Then the heavens and the earth,
and all that is in them,
shall sing for joy over Babylon,
(I)for the destroyers shall come against them out of the north,
declares the Lord.
49 Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel,
(J)just as for Babylon have fallen the slain of all the earth.
50 (K)“You who have escaped from the sword,
go, do not stand still!
Remember the Lord from far away,
and let Jerusalem come into your mind:

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)
