⁴⁶ May you not become cowardly and fearful
when the report is proclaimed in the land,
for the report will come one year,
and then another the next year.
There will be violence in the land
with ruler against ruler.
⁴⁷ Therefore, look, the days are coming^(A)
when I will punish Babylon’s carved images.^(B)
Her entire land will suffer shame,
and all her slain will lie fallen within her.^(C)
48 Heaven and earth and everything in them
will shout for joy^(D) over Babylon
because the destroyers from the north^(E)
will come against her.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
