Isaiah 14:23

God Will Destroy Babylon

²² “I will rise up against them”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts—“and I will cut off from Babylon her reputation, remnant, offspring, and posterity”—this is the Lord’s declaration. ²³ “I will make her a swampland and a region for screech owls, and I will sweep her away with a broom of destruction.”

This is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts. ²⁴ The Lord of Hosts has sworn:

As I have purposed, so it will be;
as I have planned it, so it will happen.

Zephaniah 2:14

Herds will lie down in the middle of it,
every kind of wild animal.
Both the desert owl and the screech owl
will roost in the capitals of its pillars.
Their calls will sound from the window,
but devastation will be on the threshold,
for He will expose the cedar work.

Because of all this, I am about to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam:

both slave and free, in Israel;
I will sweep away the house of Jeroboam
as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone!

The desert owl and the screech owl will possess it,
and the great owl and the raven will dwell there.

and a plumb line over her
for her destruction and chaos.

I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line used on Samaria and the mason’s level used on the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem clean as one wipes a bowl—wiping it and turning it upside down.

But desert creatures will lie down there,
and owls will fill the houses.
Ostriches will dwell there,
and wild goats will leap about.

Therefore, desert creatures will live with hyenas,
and ostriches will also live in her.
It will never again be inhabited
or lived in through all generations.

Look, I am against you, devastating mountain—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
you devastate the whole earth.

roll you down from the cliffs,
and turn you into a charred mountain.

Then a mighty angel picked up a stone like a large millstone and threw it into the sea, saying:

In this way, Babylon the great city
will be thrown down violently
and never be found again.
