45. My people, go out of her midst,and deliver every man his soulfrom the fierce anger of the Lord,
46. lest your heart grows faint, and you are afraidfor the report that will be heard in the land—for the report will come one year, and after that in another year will come another report,and violence will be in the land,ruler against ruler—
47. therefore the days are comingwhen I will punish the graven images of Babylon;and her whole land will be humiliated,and all her slain will fall in her midst.
