43 ·Babylon’s [L Its] towns are ·ruined and empty [desolate].
    It has become a dry, desert land,
a land where no one lives.
    People do not even travel through it .

    I will make him spit out what he has swallowed.
Nations will no longer ·come [L stream] to Babylon;
    even the wall around the city will fall.

45 “Come out of it [C Babylon], my people!
    ·Run for [Escape with] your lives!
    ·Run [Escape] from the Lord’s great anger.
