⁴⁸ The heavens and the earth
    and all that are in them
will shout for joy in regard to Babylon,
    for marauders will descend from the north
    and attack her, says the Lord.
⁴⁹ Babylon, too, must fall
    because of the slain of Israel,
just as the slain of all the earth
    have fallen at the hands of Babylon.
⁵⁰ You who have escaped the sword,
    leave and do not linger.
Remember the Lord from afar,
    and let Jerusalem remain in your thoughts.
