A Message Concerning Babylon

⁵² “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,

And the mortally wounded will groan throughout her land.

And though she should fortify her lofty stronghold,
From Me destroyers will come to her,” declares the Lord.

And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
