24:051:031 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet
           another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at
           one end,

24:051:032 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have
           burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

24:051:033 For thus saith the lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The
           daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to
           thresh her:  yet a little while, and the time of her harvest
           shall come.

24:051:034 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath
           crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed
           me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my
           delicates, he hath cast me out.

24:051:035 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall
           the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants
           of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

24:051:036 Therefore thus saith the lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause,
           and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and
           make her springs dry.

24:051:037 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons,
           an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

24:051:038 They shall roar together like lions:  they shall yell as lions’
           whelps.

24:051:039 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them
           drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep,
           and not wake, saith the lord.

24:051:040 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams
           with he goats.

24:051:041 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole
           earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among
           the nations!

24:051:042 The sea is come up upon Babylon:  she is covered with the
           multitude of the waves thereof.

24:051:043 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a
           land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass
           thereby.

24:051:044 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out
           of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up:  and the nations
           shall not flow together any more unto him:  yea, the wall of
           Babylon shall fall.

24:051:045 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every
           man his soul from the fierce anger of the lord.

24:051:046 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that
           shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year,
           and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and
           violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
