You who have weakened the nations!

An object of horror among the nations!

That was full of people!

Who was once great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the provinces
Has become a forced laborer!

Like the fruit pickers, like the grape gatherers.

Or a first-ripe fig which I crave.

This is the exultant city
Which dwells securely,
Who says in her heart,
I am, and there is no one besides me.”
How she has become a desolation,
A resting place for beasts!
Everyone who passes by her will hiss
And wave his hand in contempt.

Revelation 18:10

standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’
