Jeremiah 51:46 meaning and explanation

Do 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.

Jeremiah 51:46, Berean Standard Bible

The Hebrew word for "rumor" (shemuah) means a report or tidings, and the verse pictures a steady drumbeat of bad news, one year after another, of violence and ruler against ruler.
