⁴³ Her cities have become desert wastelands,
    nothing more than parched and arid land,
an area in which no one lives
    and through which no one passes.
⁴⁴ I will punish Bel in Babylon
    and compel him to spew out what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him;
    the wall of Babylon has fallen.
⁴⁵ Leave her, my people.
    Save your lives, each one of you,
    from the fierce anger of the Lord.
