43 Babylon’s towns are ruined and empty.
    It has become a dry, desert land,
a land where no one lives.
    People do not even travel through Babylon.
44 I will punish the god Bel in Babylon.
    I will make him spit out what he has swallowed.

45 “Come out of Babylon, my people!
    Run for your lives!
    Run from the Lord’s great anger.
