And shame consumed the labor of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their herd, their sons and their daughters.

Wherefore this came I forth from the womb to see labor and sorrow, and my days shall be finished with shame?

Thus said Jehovah of armies: The broad walls of Babel being demolished, shall be demolished, and her high gates shall be burnt in fire; the peoples shall labor in vain, the nations for the fire, and they shall be weary.

And I gave all the strength of this city, and all her labors, and everything precious of hers, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, and they spoiled them, and took them and brought them to Babel.
