“As for the terror of you,

O you who live in the clefts of the rock,
Who occupy the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as high as an eagle’s,
I will bring you down from there,” declares the Lord.

Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make him run away from it, and whoever is chosen I shall appoint over it.

For the purposes of the Lord against Babylon stand,
To make the land of Babylon
A desolation without inhabitants.

And I will make what he has swallowed come out of his mouth;
And the nations will no longer stream to him.

And their waves will roar like many waters;
The tumult of their voices sounds forth.

“I will make her princes and her wise men drunk,
Her governors, her prefects and her mighty men,
That they may sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake up,”

Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?

Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!

Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’” declares the Lord God.

“I will put hooks in your jaws
And make the fish of your rivers cling to your scales.
And I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers,
And all the fish of your rivers will cling to your scales.
