The King James Version Bible

Jeremiah 51:41-46

  1. How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!

  2. The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

  3. Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

  4. And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

  5. My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.

  6. And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
