    will shout for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north
    destroyers will attack her,’

49 ‘Babylon must fall because of Israel’s slain,
    just as the slain in all the earth
    have fallen because of Babylon.
50 You who have escaped the sword,
    leave and do not linger!
Remember the Lord in a distant land,
    and call to mind Jerusalem.’
