Jeremiah 51:40-44
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 51
40'I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, Like rams together with male goats. 41'How Sheshak has been captured, And the praise of the whole earth has been seized! How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations! 42The sea has come up over Babylon; She has been engulfed by its roaring waves. 43Her cities have become an object of horror, A dry land and a desert, A land in which no one lives And through which no one of mankind passes. 44I will punish Bel in Babylon, And I will make what he has swallowed come out of his mouth; And the nations will no longer stream toward him. Even the wall of Babylon has fallen down!King James Version

41'How Babylon is fallen — great Babylon, praised throughout the earth! Now she has become an object of horror among the nations.
42The sea has risen over Babylon; she is covered by its crashing waves.
43Her cities now lie in ruins; she is a dry wasteland where no one lives or even passes by.
44And I will punish Bel, the god of Babylon, and make him vomit up all he has eaten. The nations will no longer come and worship him. The wall of Babylon has fallen!
