Jeremiah 51:45-47

Contemporary English Version

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.
⁴⁷ The time will come
when I will punish
    Babylon's false gods.
Everyone there will die,
and the whole nation
    will be disgraced,
