Wretched daughter of Babylon! Blessed [shall he be] who shall reward you as you have rewarded us.

Blessed [shall he be] who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.

Sit down, you that are pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; you shall no more be called the strength of a kingdom.

and said, I shall be a princess forever; you did not perceive these things in your heart, nor did you remember the latter end.

But now these two things shall come upon you suddenly in one day, the loss of children and widowhood shall come suddenly upon you, for your sorcery, for the strength of your enchantments,

Thus says the Lord: The children of Israel and the children of Judah have been oppressed. All those that have taken them captive have oppressed them together, for they would not let them go.

But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is His name. He will enter into judgment with His adversaries, that He may destroy the earth;

And Babylon has fallen suddenly, and is broken to pieces. Lament for her; take balm for her deadly wound, if by any means she may be healed.

The Lord has brought forth His judgment. Come, and let us declare in Zion the works of the Lord our God.

It is all over with him, he has been removed, one who has been delivered from affliction has come up panting into your presence, watch the way, strengthen your loins, be very valiant in your strength.

[They have destroyed] the arms of their power from among men, their mighty men sporting with fire: the reins of their chariots [shall be destroyed] in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen shall be thrown into confusion

Then one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,

And he led me away in [the] Spirit, into a deserted [place]. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast being filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the Beast carrying her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.

Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

We are ashamed, because we have heard our reproach; disgrace has covered our face; aliens have come into our sanctuary, [even] into the house of the Lord.

And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, [even] upon every face, and baldness upon every head.

Because of the slaughter and the sin [committed against] your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.

My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Where is your God?

While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily, Where is your God?

Why should the heathen say, Where is their God? And let the avenging of Your servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.

lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

Thus shall you say to Hezekiah king of Judah, Let not your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.

Have you not heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done, how they have destroyed the whole earth? And shall you be delivered?

Now then, if you are ready, whenever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, pipe, harp, sackbut, psaltery, harmony, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the golden image which I have made, [fine;] but if you will not worship, in the same hour you shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace; and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?

Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare Your people, O Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say among the heathen, Where is their God?

He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He'll [have] Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyes shall look upon Zion.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly; he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, The Lord has been magnified upon the borders of Israel.

"Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her!"

And I ground them as the dust of the earth, I beat them small as the mire of the streets.

And he said, Throw her [down]. And they threw her [down], and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and they trampled on her.

And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her but the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands.

And the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, [This is] Jezebel.

I will grind them as the mud of the streets; and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.

God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with wagons.

And He shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down, even to the ground.

who has humbled and brought down them that dwell on high; You shall cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.

And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.

Behold, I have made you as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a wagon; and you shall thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make [them] as chaff;

and you shall winnow [them], and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them; but you shall rejoice in the holy ones of Israel.

thus says the Lord God that judges His people: Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of calamity, the cup of My wrath; and you shall not drink it anymore.

And I will give it into the hands of them that injured you, and them that afflicted you; who said to your soul, Bow down, that we may pass over; and you laid your body to the ground to them passing by outside.

Why are your garments red, and your clothing as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?

I am full of trodden [grapes], and of the nations there is not a man with Me; and I trampled them in My fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.

And they shall be as warriors treading clay in the ways in war; and they shall set the battle in array, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

And you shall trample the wicked; for they shall be ashes underneath your feet in the day which I appoint, says the Lord Almighty.
