41“How Babylon is fallen—
great Babylon, praised throughout the earth!
Now she has become an object of horror
among the nations.
42The sea has risen over Babylon;
she is covered by its crashing waves.
43Her cities now lie in ruins;
she is a dry wasteland
where no one lives or even passes by.
44And I will punish Bel, the god of Babylon,
and make him vomit up all he has eaten.
The nations will no longer come and worship him.
The wall of Babylon has fallen!

“How Babylon is taken,
the praise of the whole earth seized!
How Babylon has become
a horror among the nations!
The sea has come up on Babylon;
she is covered with its tumultuous waves.
Her cities have become a horror,
a land of drought and a desert,
a land in which no one dwells,
and through which no son of man passes.
And I will punish Bel in Babylon,
and take out of his mouth what he has swallowed.
The nations shall no longer flow to him;
the wall of Babylon has fallen.

“How Sheshak will be captured,
the boast of the whole earth seized!
How desolate Babylon will be
among the nations!
The sea will rise over Babylon;
its roaring waves will cover her.
Her towns will be desolate,
a dry and desert land,
a land where no one lives,
through which no one travels.
I will punish Bel in Babylon
and make him spew out what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
And the wall of Babylon will fall.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
How Sheshak has been captured,
the praise of the whole earth seized.
What a horror Babylon has become
among the nations!
The sea has risen over Babylon;
she is covered with its tumultuous waves.
Her cities have become a desolation,
an arid desert,
a land where no one lives,
where no human being even passes through.
I will punish Bel in Babylon.
I will make him vomit what he swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him;
even Babylon’s wall will fall.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
How Sheshach is captured,
and the glory of all the earth is seized!
How Babylon has become as an object of horror
among the nations!
The sea has risen over Babylon,
she has been covered by the roar of its waves.
Her cities have become as an object of horror,
a dry land and a wilderness,
a land in which no person lives,
nor does a son of humankind pass through it.
And I will punish Bel in Babylon,
and I will wrench out from his mouth what he has swallowed.
And the nations will not stream towards him any longer
what’s worse, the wall of Babylon has fallen.

KJV 1900King James Version
How is Sheshach taken!
And how is the praise of the whole earth surprised!
How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
The sea is come up upon Babylon:
She is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
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.
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.
