Jeremiah 51:43-45
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
43 Her cities have become a desolation and a horror, a land of drought and a wilderness, a land in which no one lives, nor does any son of man pass through it.
44 And I will punish and execute judgment upon Bel [the god] in Babylon and take out of his mouth what he has swallowed up [the sacred vessels and the people of Judah and elsewhere who were taken captive]. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon has fallen!
45 My people, come out of the midst of her! And let every man save his life from the fierce anger of the Lord!(A)

Jeremiah 51:43-45
Lexham English Bible
43 Her cities have become as an object of horror,
a dry land and a wilderness,[a]
a land in which no person lives,
nor does a son of humankind pass through it.
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon,
and I will wrench out from his mouth what he has swallowed.[b]
And the nations will not stream towards him any longer
what’s worse,[c] the wall of Babylon has fallen.
45 Come out from her midst, my people,
and save each one his life
from the burning anger of[d] Yahweh.
