An Oracle Against Babylon

13 Moreover, I will so shake the heaven, that the earth shall remove out of her place. Thus shall it go with Babylon in the wrath of the LORD of Hosts in the day of his fearful indignation. 14 And Babylon shall be as a hunted or chased doe, and as a flock without a shepherd. Every man shall turn to his own people, and flee each one into his own land. 15 Whoso is found alone, shall be shot through: And whoso gather together, shall be destroyed with the sword.
