2  “Declare among the nations and proclaim,

^mset up a banner and proclaim,

conceal it not, and say:

‘Babylon is taken,

ⁿBel is put to shame,

Merodach is dismayed.

Her images are put to shame,

her idols are dismayed.’

44  And I will punish ⁱBel in Babylon,

and take out of his mouth what he has swallowed.

The nations shall no longer flow to him;

^jthe wall of Babylon has fallen.
