He brings down those who are proud. He pulls down cities that have high walls. They fall down flat on the ground. He throws them down to the dust.

他使住高处的与高城一并败落，将城拆毁，拆平，直到尘埃，

他使居住高处的与高处的城市一同降为卑下，将城拆毁，夷为平地，化为尘土，

他使居住高处的与高处的城市一同降为卑下，将城拆毁，夷为平地，化为尘土，

祂贬抑高傲的人，拆毁他们高耸的城邑，把它们夷为平地、化为尘土，

他使那些骄傲的降卑，使那些高耸的城败落；把它拆毁，散在地上，变作尘土。

耶和华必使居高处的，就是居于高耸城中的人，降为卑屈，又使城落败、一败涂地、坠入尘土——

他使住高處的與高城一併敗落，將城拆毀，拆平，直到塵埃，

他使居住高處的與高處的城市一同降為卑下，將城拆毀，夷為平地，化為塵土，

他使居住高處的與高處的城市一同降為卑下，將城拆毀，夷為平地，化為塵土，

祂貶抑高傲的人，拆毀他們高聳的城邑，把它們夷為平地、化為塵土，

他使那些驕傲的降卑，使那些高聳的城敗落；把它拆毀，散在地上，變作塵土。

因為他使住高處的、高不可扳的都市、降低，使它敗落，敗落到平地，使它化為塵土。

耶和華必使居高處的，就是居於高聳城中的人，降為卑屈，又使城落敗、一敗塗地、墜入塵土——

曾降居高之人、毀崇高之邑、覆之於地、墮之於塵、

高者降為卑、都城百仞、使之傾圮、成為邱墟、

高居之民、主使卑降、鞏固之邑、主使傾頹於地、墮於塵埃、

He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust.

For he has humbled the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust.

He humbles the proud and brings down the arrogant city. He brings it down to the dust.

For he has humbled those who live in lofty places— an inaccessible city. He brings it down; he brings it down to the ground; he throws it to the dust.

For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.

For He brings down those who dwell on high, The lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust.

For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.

For He has humbled those who live in lofty places— an inaccessible city. He brings it down; He brings it down to the ground; He throws it to the dust.

For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low,[ even] to the ground; he bringeth it[ even] to the dust.

Indeed, the LORD knocks down those who live in a high place, he brings down an elevated town; he brings it down to the ground, he throws it down to the dust.

For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.

Let loose your great anger. Look at those who are proud and bring them low.Look at proud people and make them humble. Crush evil people right where they are.Bury their bodies together in the dust. Cover their faces in the grave.

Then say,‘ In the same way, Babylon will sink down. It will never rise again. That is because I will bring such horrible trouble on it. And its people will fall along with it.’ ” The words of Jeremiah end here.

With a mighty voice he shouted,“‘ Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen!’( Isaiah 21:9) She has become a place where demons live. She has become a den for every evil spirit. She has become a place where every‘ unclean’ bird is found. She has become a place where every‘ unclean’ and hated animal is found.

Babylon will have all its buildings knocked down. It will be a home for wild dogs. No one will live there. People will be shocked at it. They will make fun of it.

“ City of Babylon, go down and sit in the dust. Leave your throne and sit on the ground. Queen city of the Babylonians, your life will not be comfortable and easy anymore.

They will try to swim their way out of it. They will spread out their hands in it, just as swimmers spread out their hands to swim. But God will bring down Moab’s pride. None of their skill will help them.He will pull down their high, strong walls. He will bring them down to the ground. He’ll bring them right down to the dust.

Hail might strip the forests bare. Cities might be completely destroyed.

The Lord will punish the world because it is so evil. He will punish evil people for their sins. He’ll put an end to the bragging of those who are proud. He’ll bring down the pride of those who don’t show any pity.

“ Babylon, I am against you. Your kingdom is like a destroying mountain. You have destroyed the whole earth,” announces the Lord.“ I will reach out my hand against you. I will roll you off the cliffs. I will make you like a mountain that has been burned up.No rock will be taken from you to be used as the most important stone for a building. No stones will be taken from you to be used for a foundation. Your land will be empty forever,” announces the Lord.

The Lord who rules over all has set apart a day when he will judge. He has set it apart for all those who are proud and think they are important. He has set it apart for all those who brag about themselves. All of them will be brought low.

You said in your heart,‘ I will go up to the heavens. I’ll raise my throne above the stars of God. I’ll sit as king on the mountain where the gods meet. I’ll set up my throne on the highest slopes of Mount Zaphon.

“ Proud Babylonians, I am against you,” announces the Lord. The Lord who rules over all says,“ Your day to be judged has come. It is time for you to be punished.You proud people will trip and fall. No one will help you up. I will start a fire in your towns. It will burn up everyone around you.”
