46 Don’t let your heart faint.
    Don’t fear for the news that will be heard in the land.
For news will come one year,
    and after that in another year news will come,
    and violence in the land,
    ruler against ruler.
47 Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon;
    and her whole land will be confounded.
    All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
48 Then the heavens and the earth,
    and all that is therein,
will sing for joy over Babylon;
    for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says Yahweh.

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)
48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
    will shout(G) for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north(H)
    destroyers(I) will attack her,”
declares the Lord.
