Jeremiah 50:23

How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!

Thou are my battle-axe and weapons of war. And with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms,

that thou shall take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the oppressor ceased, the golden city ceased!

How thou are fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How thou are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

and saying, Alas, alas, the great city, which was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls!

How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

Thou are my battle-axe and weapons of war. And with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms,

that thou shall take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the oppressor ceased, the golden city ceased!

and saying, Alas, alas, the great city, which was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls!
