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.

The verse 44 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. The comparison of Babylon with a threshing floor announces that it will be trampled and reduced. Israel may say that Babylon devoured it, but God promises to avenge its cause. Bel will be judged and the peoples will no longer go to him, showing that Babylon’s political judgment also entails the collapse of its religious system.

Castigaré a Bel en Babilonia y sacaré de su boca lo que se ha tragado. Las naciones ya no acudirán en tropel a él; también la muralla de Babilonia ha caído.
Je châtierai Bel à Babylone, J'arracherai de sa bouche ce qu'il a englouti, Et les nations n'afflueront plus vers lui. La muraille même de Babylone est tombée!
Ed io farò punizione di Bel in Babilonia, e gli trarrò dalla gola ciò ch’egli ha trangugiato; e le nazioni non accorreranno più a lui; le mura di Babilonia eziandio caderanno.
E castigarei a Bel em Babilônia, e tirarei da sua boca o que tragou, e nunca mais concorrerão a ele as nações; também o muro de Babilônia caiu.
