Jeremiah 51:45-47

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁵ “Come out of Babylon, my people!
    Run for your lives!
    Run from the Lord’s great anger.
⁴⁶ Don’t lose courage.
    Rumors will spread, but don’t be afraid.
One rumor comes this year, and another comes the next year.
    There will be rumors of terrible fighting in the country.
    There will be rumors of rulers fighting against rulers.
⁴⁷ The time will surely come
    when I will punish the idols of Babylon.
And the whole land will be disgraced.
    There will be many dead people lying all around.
