Behold, the lattermost of the nations is a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

Never again will you be known as the Lady of Kingdoms...You said, "I am forever, the eternal queen!" But you did not consider these things, or reflect on what might happen.

Now you listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, "I am, and there is none besides me." They come from the faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens, the Lord and the weapons of his wrath, to destroy the whole country.

All the mixed people who are in the midst of her, like a hunted gazelle, like sheep without a shepherd, they will all return to their own people, and they will flee to their native land.

How the praise of the whole earth has been seized! How the hammer of the whole earth has been cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations! For she has been proud against the Lord.

A sword is against her treasures, and they will be robbed. A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is the land of images, and they have grown mad upon their idols.

And though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and fortify her skies, destroyers will come to her from me, declares the Lord. Her time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged. Oh you who dwell by many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come.
