The gods named Bel and Nebo are brought down in shame. The statues of them are being carried away on the backs of animals. They used to be carried around by the people who worshiped them. But now they’ve become a heavy load for tired animals.

Bel bows down; Nebo stoops; their idols are on beasts and livestock; these things you carry are borne as burdens on weary beasts.

Bel and Nebo, the gods of Babylon, bow as they are lowered to the ground. They are being hauled away on ox carts. The poor beasts stagger under the weight.

Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Idols depicting them are consigned to beasts and cattle. The images you carry are loaded, as a burden for the weary animal.

Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over; Their idols have become loads for the animals and the cattle. The things that you carry are burdensome, A load for the weary animal.

Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle. Your carriages were heavily loaded, A burden to the weary beast.

I will punish Bel in Babylon and make him spew out what he has swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him. And the wall of Babylon will fall.

“ Announce and proclaim among the nations, lift up a banner and proclaim it; keep nothing back, but say,‘ Babylon will be captured; Bel will be put to shame, Marduk filled with terror. Her images will be put to shame and her idols filled with terror.’

Look, here comes a man in a chariot with a team of horses. And he gives back the answer:‘ Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the images of its gods lie shattered on the ground!’”

For the time will surely come when I will punish the idols of Babylon; her whole land will be disgraced and her slain will all lie fallen within her.

they help each other and say to their companions,“ Be strong!”The metalworker encourages the goldsmith, and the one who smooths with the hammer spurs on the one who strikes the anvil. One says of the welding,“ It is good.” The other nails down the idol so it will not topple.

In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.

“ On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.

“ But days are coming,” declares the Lord,“ when I will punish her idols, and throughout her land the wounded will groan.

When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place.

Concerning Moab: This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:“ Woe to Nebo, for it will be ruined. Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured; the stronghold will be disgraced and shattered.Moab will be praised no more; in Heshbon people will plot her downfall:‘ Come, let us put an end to that nation.’ You, the people of Madmen, will also be silenced; the sword will pursue you.Cries of anguish arise from Horonaim, cries of great havoc and destruction.Moab will be broken; her little ones will cry out.They go up the hill to Luhith, weeping bitterly as they go; on the road down to Horonaim anguished cries over the destruction are heard.Flee! Run for your lives; become like a bush in the desert.Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive, and Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials.The destroyer will come against every town, and not a town will escape. The valley will be ruined and the plateau destroyed, because the Lord has spoken.Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her towns will become desolate, with no one to live in them.“ A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work! A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed!“ Moab has been at rest from youth, like wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another— she has not gone into exile. So she tastes as she did, and her aroma is unchanged.But days are coming,” declares the Lord,“ when I will send men who pour from pitchers, and they will pour her out; they will empty her pitchers and smash her jars.Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.“ How can you say,‘ We are warriors, men valiant in battle’?Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded; her finest young men will go down in the slaughter,” declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.“ The fall of Moab is at hand; her calamity will come quickly.Mourn for her, all who live around her, all who know her fame; say,‘ How broken is the mighty scepter, how broken the glorious staff!’“ Come down from your glory and sit on the parched ground, you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon, for the one who destroys Moab will come up against you and ruin your fortified cities.Stand by the road and watch, you who live in Aroer. Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping, ask them,‘ What has happened?’Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered. Wail and cry out! Announce by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.Judgment has come to the plateau— to Holon, Jahzah and Mephaath,to Dibon, Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,to Kerioth and Bozrah— to all the towns of Moab, far and near.Moab’s horn is cut off; her arm is broken,” declares the Lord.

Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good.”
