47 Therefore behold, days are coming when I will punish the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

48 And the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall shout aloud over Babylon; for out of the north the spoilers shall come against her, saith Jehovah.

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)

    will shout(G) for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north(H)
    destroyers(I) will attack her,”
declares the Lord.
