Jeremiah 51:42-44

New Century Version

⁴² The sea has risen over Babylon;
    its roaring waves cover her.
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.
Nations will no longer come to Babylon;
    even the wall around the city will fall.
