Jeremiah 51:46-48

International Standard Version

⁴⁶ Do this^[a] now, so your heart does not grow faint,
    and so you don’t become frightened
        because of the rumors^[b] that are heard in the land—
a rumor comes one year^[c] and then after it
    another rumor^[d] comes the next year^[e]
about violence in the land
    and one ruler against another ruler.^[f]
47 Therefore, look, days are coming
    when I’ll punish the idols of Babylon.
Her entire land will be put to shame,
    and all her slain will fall in her midst.
⁴⁸ Then the heavens and the earth
    and all that are in them
        will shout for joy about Babylon
because the destroyers will come
    out of the north against her,”
        declares the Lord.
