“Therefore behold (listen carefully), the days are coming
When I will judge and punish the idols of Babylon;
Her whole land will be perplexed and shamed,
And all her slain will fall in her midst.

“Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
Will shout and sing for joy over Babylon,
For the [a]destroyers will come against her from the north,”
Says the Lord.(A)

Indeed Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel,
As also for Babylon the slain of all the earth have fallen.
