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.

The Lord Offers Hope to His People

45 Get out of Babylon, my people,
    and run for your lives,
before I strike the city
    in my anger!
46 Don't be afraid or lose hope,
though year after year
    there are rumors
of leaders fighting for control
    in the city of Babylon.
