“Do not let your heart grow faint, and do not be afraid when the rumor is heard in the land; for a rumor will come one year — and then another the next year — of violence in the land and of ruler against ruler.”
Jeremiah 51:46 (BSB)
Context Reading
44I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make him spew out what he swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him; even the wall of Babylon will fall. 45Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the LORD. 46Do not let your heart grow faint, and do not be afraid when the rumor is heard in the land; for a rumor will come one year — and then another the next year — of violence in the land and of ruler against ruler. 47Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the idols of Babylon. Her entire land will suffer shame, and all her slain will lie fallen within her. 48Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon because the destroyers from the north will come against her,” declares the LORD.
