Jeremiah 51:47-49
1599 Geneva Bible
47 Therefore behold, the days come, that I will visit the images of Babel, and the whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Then the heaven and [a]the earth, and all that is therein, shall rejoice for Babel: for the destroyers shall come unto her from the North, saith the Lord.
49 As Babel caused the [b]slain of Israel to fall, so by Babel the slain of all the earth did fall.

when I will punish the idols(A) of Babylon;
her whole land will be disgraced(B)
and her slain will all lie fallen within her.(C)
48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
will shout(D) for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north(E)
destroyers(F) will attack her,”
declares the Lord.

just as the slain in all the earth
have fallen because of Babylon.(G)
