[51:41] The Lord says about Babylon: “The city that the whole world praised has been captured! What a horrifying sight Babylon has become to the nations!
[51:42] The sea has rolled over Babylon and covered it with roaring waves.
[51:43] The towns have become a horrifying sight and are like a waterless desert, where no one lives or even travels.
[51:44] I will punish Bel, the god of Babylonia, and make him give up his stolen goods; the nations will not worship him any more. “Babylon's walls have fallen.
[51:45] People of Israel, run away from there! Run for your life from my fierce anger.
[51:46] Do not lose courage or be afraid because of the rumors you hear. Every year a different rumor spreads—rumors of violence in the land and of one king fighting another.
[51:47] And so the time is coming when I will deal with Babylonia's idols. The whole country will be put to shame, and all its people will be killed.
[51:48] Everything on earth and in the sky will shout for joy when Babylonia falls to the people who come from the north to destroy it.
[51:49] Babylonia caused the death of people all over the world, and now Babylonia will fall because it caused the death of so many Israelites. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
