43 Babylonia's towns will become heaps of stones.
The land will be dry and empty, like a desert.
Nobody will live there any more.
Nobody will even travel through the land.
44 I will punish Bel, the god of Babylon.

Run away to save your lives!
The Lord is very angry with that place,
so run away from there!

    Run(G) for your lives!
    Run from the fierce anger(H) of the Lord.
