43 Her towns will be desolate,
    a dry and desert(A) land,
a land where no one lives,
    through which no one travels.(B)
44 I will punish Bel(C) in Babylon
    and make him spew out(D) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
    And the wall(E) of Babylon will fall.

45 “Come out(F) of her, my people!
    Run(G) for your lives!
    Run from the fierce anger(H) of the Lord.

43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.
