So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, against Moab: Woe to Nebo, for it is devastated! Kiriathaim is put to shame and captured. The fortress is put to shame and shattered.
So says Jehovah of Hosts, Baring, the broad walls of Babylon shall be laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire. And the peoples shall labor as for vanity, and a people as for fire; and they shall be weary.
And you shall say, In this way Babylon shall sink and shall not rise from the evil that I am bringing on it, and they shall be weary. So far are the words of Jeremiah.
The Lord swallowed up all of Jacob’s dwelling-places, and did not pity. In His wrath He has broken down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He made them touch to the earth. He has defiled the kingdom and its rulers.
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I will put you before kings, that they may see you.
And one strong angel lifted a stone like a great millstone, and threw it into the sea, saying, Thus on a violent impulse, Babylon the great city will be thrown down, and it will not still be found, not ever!.
