Jeremiah 51:46-48

The Voice

⁴⁶     Do not lose heart or give in to fear and panic
        when the rumors start to fly in the land.
    Year after year, the rumors will come—rumors of violence
        and reports of one ruler warring against another.
⁴⁷     So, look! the days are coming
        when I will punish Babylon’s idols.
    Her whole land will suffer humiliation,
        and her dead will lie unburied within her borders.
⁴⁸     Then the heavens and the earth and all that is within them
        will shout for joy over the disaster that comes upon Babylon,
    For the destroying armies will march against Babylon from out of the north.
