A Message Concerning Babylon

32 And pride stumbled and fell, and none lifting up to it: and I kindled a fire in his cities and it shall consume all round about him. 33 Thus said Jehovah of armies: the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah being oppressed together: and all taking them captive held upon them; they refused to send them away. 34 He redeeming them is strong; Jehovah of armies, his name: pleading, he will plead their cause, so that he caused the land to rest, and caused disquiet to the inhabitants of Babel.
