Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O assembly, what is among them.

I have set thee among my people as an assayer, a fortress, that thou mayest know and try their way.

Are they ashamed that they have committed abomination? Nay, they are not at all ashamed, and they know not how to blush. Therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith Jehovah.

For behold, I send among you serpents, vipers against which there is no charm, and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.

How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!

At the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth hath quaked, and the cry is heard among the nations.

Lift up a banner in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare nations against her; call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the bristly caterpillars.
