Jeremiah 51:42-44
1599 Geneva Bible
42 The [a]sea is come up upon Babel: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43 Her cities are desolate: the land is dry and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth the son of man pass thereby.
44 I will also visit Bel in Babel, and I will bring out of his mouth, that which [b]he hath swallowed up, and the nations shall run no more unto him, and the wall of Babel shall fall.

New International Version
42 The sea will rise over Babylon;
its roaring waves(A) will cover her.
43 Her towns will be desolate,
a dry and desert(B) land,
a land where no one lives,
through which no one travels.(C)
44 I will punish Bel(D) in Babylon
and make him spew out(E) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
And the wall(F) of Babylon will fall.
