Jeremiah 51:45

43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and arid land, a land where no one lives, where no son of man passes through.

44 I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make him spew out what he swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him; even the wall of Babylon will fall.

Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the LORD.

46 Do not let your heart grow faint, and do not be afraid when the rumor is heard in the land; for a rumor will come one year— and then another the next year— of violence in the land and of ruler against ruler.

47 Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the idols of Babylon. Her entire land will suffer shame, and all her slain will lie fallen within her.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
