Context of Jeremiah 51:45
43Its cities will be ruined. It will become a desert, a land where no one lives and where no human travels. 44I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make Bel spit out everything that it has swallowed. Nations will no longer stream to Babylon, and its walls will fall. “Leave it, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the burning anger of the Lord. 46Don’t lose courage or be afraid when rumors are heard in the land. One rumor comes one year; another rumor comes the next year. Rumors of violence are in the land. Rumors that one ruler will fight against another are in the land. 47That is why the days are coming when I will punish Babylon’s idols. The whole country will be put to shame, and all its soldiers will lie dead.
