The voice of a cry from Babel, and a great breaking from the land of the Chaldeans:
The voice of war in the land, and a great breaking.
From the voice of the taking of Babel the earth was shaken, and the cry was heard among the nations.
And it was in that day, says Jehovah, a voice of a cry from the gate of fishes, and a wailing from the second, and a great breaking from the hills.
The king of Babel heard their report, and his hands were relaxed: anguish seized him as the pain of her bringing forth.
Lay waste all her bullocks; come down to the slaughter: wo to them! for their day came, the time of their reviewing.
My heart shall cry out for Moab; passing through even to Zoar, a heifer of three years: for going up to Luhith with weeping shall they go up into it: for the way of Horonaim they shall rouse up a cry of breaking.
As the heat in Zion the noise of strangers thou shalt bring down; the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the song of the terrible shall be humbled.
