⁴⁴ I will punish Bel^(A) in Babylon
    and make him spew out^(B) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
    And the wall^(C) of Babylon will fall.

⁴⁵ “Come out^(D) of her, my people!
    Run^(E) for your lives!
    Run from the fierce anger^(F) of the Lord.
⁴⁶ Do not lose heart^(G) or be afraid^(H)
    when rumors^(I) are heard in the land;
one rumor comes this year, another the next,
    rumors of violence in the land
    and of ruler against ruler.
