The whole country will be put to shame, and all its people will be killed. ^48 (A)Everything on earth and in the sky will shout for joy when Babylonia falls to the people who come from the north to destroy it. ^49 (B)Babylonia caused the death of people all over the world, and now Babylonia will fall because it caused the death of so many Israelites. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
