Jeremiah 51:42-44

Contemporary English Version

⁴² Babylon's enemies will rise
like ocean waves
    and flood the city.
⁴³ Horrible destruction will strike
    the nearby towns.
The land will become
    a barren desert,
where no one can live
    or even travel.
⁴⁴ I will punish Marduk,^[a]
    the god of Babylon,
and make him vomit out
    everything he gobbled up.
Then nations will no longer
    bring him gifts,
and Babylon's walls will crumble.
