Significance: Jeremiah 51:44 prophesies that God will "punish Bel in Babylon and make him disgorge what he has swallowed" — a vivid image of the nations that Babylon absorbed being released. This connects to Isaiah 2:2's vision of "the mountain of the LORD's house" being "established as the chief of the mountains," with "all nations streaming to it." Both texts address the reversal of Babylon's dominion: Jeremiah describes the dismantling of Babylonian power (nations flowing away from Babylon), while Isaiah envisions the alternative — nations flowing toward Zion. The shared theme of international movement creates a complementary portrait of the post-Babylonian world order, where God's mountain replaces Babylon's empire as the center of the nations.
