A Message Concerning Babylon

40 Just as when God overthrew Sodom, Gomorrah, and their neighbors," declares the LORD, "so also no one will live there. No human being will reside in it. 41 "Look, people are coming from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the ends of the earth. 42 They grab bow and spear. They're cruel and show no mercy. Their sound roars like the sea, as they ride on horses deployed like men ready for battle against you, daughter of Babylon.
