Jeremiah 51:42-44
International Standard Version
42 The sea will come up against Babylon,
and she will be covered by wave upon wave.[a]
43 Her cities will become an object of horror,
a dry land and a desert,
a land in which no one lives,
and through which no human being passes.
44 I’ll punish Bel[b] in Babylon,
and I’ll make what he has swallowed
come out of his mouth.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
Even the wall of Babylon will fall.
