Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.

The verse 48 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. The Jews are commanded to leave Babylon so as not to participate in its sin or perish with it. Seraiah must read the scroll and throw it into the Euphrates as a sign that Babylon will sink and not rise again. The final act turns the written prophecy into a visible symbol of the irreversibility of imperial judgment.

Himmel und Erde und alles was darinnen ist, werden jauchzen über Babel, daß ihre Verstörer von Mitternacht gekommen sind, spricht der HERR.
Y los cielos y la tierra, y todo lo que está en ellos, darán alabanzas sobre Babilonia: porque del aquilón vendrán sobre ella destruidores, dice Jehová.
Los cielos, la tierra y todo lo que hay en ellos gritarán de alegría por Babilonia, porque del norte vendrán contra ella los devastadores —declara Jehová—».
Sur Babylone retentiront les cris de joie des cieux et de la terre, Et de tout ce qu'ils renferment; Car du septentrion les dévastateurs fondront sur elle, Dit l'Eternel.
E i cieli, e la terra, e tutto ciò ch’è in essi, giubileranno di Babilonia; perciocchè di Settentrione le saranno venuti i distruttori, dice il Signore.
E os céus e a terra, com tudo quanto neles há, jubilarão sobre Babilônia; porque do norte lhe virão os destruidores, diz o SENHOR.
那時,天地和其中所有的, 必因 巴比倫 歡呼, 因為行毀滅的要從北方來到它那裏。 這是耶和華說的。
