Jeremiah 51:46-48
1599 Geneva Bible
46 Lest your heart even faint, and ye fear the rumor that shall be heard in the land: the rumor shall come this year, and after that in the other [a]year shall come a rumor, and cruelty in the land, and ruler against ruler.
47 Therefore behold, the days come, that I will visit the images of Babel, and the whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Then the heaven and [b]the earth, and all that is therein, shall rejoice for Babel: for the destroyers shall come unto her from the North, saith the Lord.

- Jeremiah 51:46 Meaning, that Babylon should not be destroyed all at once, but little by little should be brought to nothing: for the first year came the tidings, the next year the siege, and in the third year it was taken: yet this is not that horrible destruction which the prophets threatened in many places: for that was after this when they rebelled and Darius overcame them by the policy of Zopyrus, and hanged three thousand gentlemen besides the common people.
- Jeremiah 51:48 All creatures in heaven and earth shall rejoice, and praise God for the destruction of Babylon the great enemy of his Church.

Jeremiah 51:46-48
New International Version
46 Do not lose heart(A) or be afraid(B)
when rumors(C) are heard in the land;
one rumor comes this year, another the next,
rumors of violence in the land
and of ruler against ruler.
47 For the time will surely come
when I will punish the idols(D) of Babylon;
her whole land will be disgraced(E)
and her slain will all lie fallen within her.(F)
48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
will shout(G) for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north(H)
destroyers(I) will attack her,”
declares the Lord.
