As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.

The verse 49 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.

Und wie Babel in Israel die Erschlagenen gefällt hat, also sollen zu Babel die Erschlagenen fallen im ganzen Lande.
Pues que Babilonia fue causa que cayesen muertos de Israel, también de Babilonia caerán muertos de toda la tierra.
Babilonia caerá por los muertos de Israel, como por Babilonia cayeron los muertos de toda la tierra.
Babylone aussi tombera, ô morts d'Israël, Comme elle a fait tomber les morts de tout le pays.
Siccome Babilonia è stata per far cadere gli uccisi d’Israele, così caderanno a Babilonia gli uccisi di tutta la terra.
Como Babilônia fez cair mortos os de Israel, assim em Babilônia cairão os mortos de toda a terra.
巴比倫 要因 以色列 被殺的人而仆倒, 正如全地被刺殺的人是因 巴比倫 仆倒一般。
