Context of Jeremiah 51:45

43Babylonia's towns will become heaps of stones. The land will be dry and empty, like a desert. Nobody will live there any more. Nobody will even travel through the land. 44I will punish Bel, the god of Babylon. I will cause him to give back everything that he has taken. Nations will never go to worship him again. Yes, the walls of Babylon will fall down!’ ‘Escape from Babylon, my people! Run away to save your lives! The Lord is very angry with that place, so run away from there! 46You must be brave! When you hear news in Babylon of what is happening, do not be afraid. People will report one thing this year, and next year they will report a different thing. They will speak about violence in the land, and about rulers who are fighting against each other. 47So the time will soon come when I will punish Babylon's idols. The whole country will become ashamed. Its people will die and their dead bodies will lie everywhere.
