Her cities have become a desolation,
a dry land, and a desert,
a land in which no man dwells.
No son of man passes by it.

a dry land, and a desert,
a land in which no man dwells.
No son of man passes by it.
44
I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon,
and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up.
The nations will not flow any more to him.
Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.

and each of you save yourselves from the LORD’s fierce anger.

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.
