“Therefore behold, the days come,”
says the LORD, “that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.
Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,”
says the LORD.
“The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice!
Their waves roar like many waters.
The noise of their voice is uttered.
