all the kings of the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of Babylon shall drink.

And you shall become a horror, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where the Lord will lead you away.

it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.

and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all— you are the head of gold.

and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, the haunt of jackals, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.

They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,“ Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon!
