Context — Babylon’s Punishment
43Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and arid land, a land where no one lives, where no son of man passes through.
44I 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.
45Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46Do 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. 47Therefore, 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.Cross References

Jeremiah 51:45 Summary
[Jeremiah 51:45 is a call to God's people to leave the sinful system of Babylon and escape God's coming judgment, just like the Israelites were called to be separate from the nations in Deuteronomy 7:6. This verse is a reminder that God's people are to be separate from the world and its sinful ways, and to trust in Him for salvation, as seen in Revelation 18:4. By putting our faith in Jesus Christ and living a life of obedience to Him, we can save our lives from God's fierce anger and live a life that is pleasing to Him, as taught in Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:9-10.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'come out of her' in Jeremiah 51:45?
This is a call to God's people to separate themselves from the wicked and idolatrous system of Babylon, just as the Israelites were called to be separate from the nations in Deuteronomy 7:6 and as believers are called to be separate from the world in 2 Corinthians 6:17.
Why does God tell His people to save their lives from His fierce anger?
God's fierce anger is a result of sin and rebellion, as seen in Jeremiah 51:45, and He warns His people to escape the coming judgment, just as He warned Noah to escape the flood in Genesis 6:13-22 and Lot to escape Sodom in Genesis 19:12-17.
Is this verse only for the Israelites in Babylon or does it apply to believers today?
While the historical context is specific to the Israelites in Babylon, the principle of separating oneself from the world and escaping God's judgment applies to all believers, as seen in Revelation 18:4 where God calls His people to come out of the sinful system of the world.
How can we 'save our lives' from God's fierce anger today?
We can save our lives by repenting of our sins, putting our faith in Jesus Christ, and living a life of obedience to Him, as taught in Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:9-10, and by being mindful of our actions and their consequences, as warned in Galatians 6:7-8.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I am still 'in Babylon', and how can I separate myself from the world's sinful system?
- What are some areas of my life where I need to repent and turn to God to escape His judgment?
- How can I balance being 'in the world' but not 'of the world', as Jesus taught in John 17:14-19?
- What does it mean for me to 'save my life' in a spiritual sense, and how can I prioritize my spiritual well-being?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 51:45
My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. My people, go ye, out of the midst of her - (note, Jeremiah 51:6).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:45
These words are an exhortation to the Jews to be willing, upon the first proclamation of liberty by Cyrus, to go out of Babylon, notwithstanding the pleasantness of the place, and that now their stakes had been pitched there many years, because of the ruin which should most certainly come on that place.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:45
Jeremiah 51:45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.Ver. 45. My people, go ye out of the midst of her.] This is much pressed, and it was but need; for many of the Jews were as hardly drawn to depart thence as a dog, ab uncto corio, from a fat morsel.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:45
(45) Go ye out of the midst of her . . .—The prophet repeats, with all the emphasis of iteration, the summons of Jer 50:8; Jeremiah 51:6. The “fierce anger of the Lord” is that which was directed primarily against Babylon, but which would also fall on those who chose to remain and become “partakers in her plagues.” (Compare Revelation 18:4.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:45
Verse 45. My people, go ye out] A warning to all the Jews in Babylon to leave the city, and escape for their lives.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 51:45
45. go ye out] See Jeremiah 51:6, Jeremiah 50:8; Isaiah 52:11.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 51:45
The fierce anger of the Lord - i. e., against Babylon. The people of God are to flee away that they may not be involved in the miseries of Babylon. See the Jeremiah 50:8 note.
