“That I will bring judgment on her carved images,
And throughout all her land the wounded shall groan.
And though she were to fortify the height of her strength,
Yet from Me plunderers would come to her,” says the Lord.
And silencing her loud voice,
Though her waves roar like great waters,
And the noise of their voice is uttered,
And her mighty men are taken.
Every one of their bows is broken;
aFor the Lord is the God of recompense,
He will surely repay.
Her princes and awise men,
Her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men.
And they shall sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says bthe King,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
“The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly abroken,
And her high gates shall be burned with fire;
bThe people will labor in vain,
And the nations, because of the fire;
And they shall be weary.”
