40 I will bring them down like lambs litvo'ach (to the slaughter, see Isaiah 53:7), like rams with male goats.
41 How is Sheshach [Babylon] taken! And how is the tehillat kol ha'aretz seized! How is Bavel become a horror to behold among the Goyim!
42 The yam (sea) will arise over Bavel; she is covered with the tumult of the waves thereof.
43 Her towns are a horror to behold, a dry land, and an aravah, a land wherein no ish dwelleth, neither doth any ben adam pass thereby.
44 And I will punish Bel [Marduk] in Bavel, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath gulped down; and the Goyim shall not stream together any more unto him; indeed, the chomat Bavel shall fall.
45 My people, come ye out of the midst of her, and save ye every ish his nefesh from the charon af Hashem.
46 And lest your lev faint, and ye fear at the rumor that shall be heard in ha'aretz; a rumor shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor, rumors of chamas in ha'aretz, moshel (ruler) against moshel.
