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.

50 Ye that [c]have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
