Isaiah 21:9

9 And behold, here come riders,
horsemen in pairs!”
^cAnd he answered,
^d“Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
^eand all the carved images of her gods
he has shattered to the ground.”

Isaiah 43:14

14 Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
^f“For your sake I send to Babylon
and ^gbring them all down as fugitives,
^heven the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

Isaiah 47:9-14

9 ⁱThese two things shall come to you
in a moment, ^jin one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
shall come upon you in full measure,
^kin spite of your many sorceries
and the great power of your enchantments.
10 You felt secure in your wickedness;
you said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
^l“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
11 But evil shall come upon you,
which you will not know how to charm away;
disaster shall fall upon you,
for which you will not be able to atone;
^mand ruin shall come upon you suddenly,
of which you know nothing.
12 ⁿStand fast in your enchantments
and your many sorceries,
with which you have labored from your youth;
perhaps you may be able to succeed;
perhaps you may inspire terror.
13 You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
^othose who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.
14 Behold, ^pthey are like stubble;
^qthe fire consumes them;
they cannot deliver themselves
from the power of the flame.
No coal for warming oneself is this,
no fire to sit before!

Jeremiah 50:26-27

26 Come against her from every quarter;
open her granaries;
^rpile her up like heaps of grain, and devote her to destruction;
let nothing be left of her.
27 Kill all ^sher bulls;
let them go down to the slaughter.
Woe to them, for their day has come,
^tthe time of their punishment.

Jeremiah 50:29-35

29 ^u“Summon archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. ^vEncamp around her; let no one escape. ^wRepay her according to her deeds; do to her according to all that she has done. For she has ^xproudly defied the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 30 ^yTherefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed on that day, declares the Lord.

31 “Behold, I am against you, O ^zproud one,
declares the Lord God of hosts,
^aafor your day has come,
the time when I will punish you.
32 ^abThe proud one shall stumble and fall,
with none to raise him up,
^acand I will kindle a fire in his cities,
and it will devour all that is around him.
33 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^adThe people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah with them. All who took them captive have held them fast; ^aethey refuse to let them go. 34 ^afTheir Redeemer is strong; ^agthe Lord of hosts is his name. ^ahHe will surely plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, but unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.

35 “A sword against the Chaldeans, declares the Lord,
and against the inhabitants of Babylon,
and against ^aiher officials and her ^ajwise men!

Jeremiah 51:3-4

3 ^akLet not the archer bend his bow,
and let him not stand up in his armor.
Spare not her young men;
^aldevote to destruction ^{▼▼That is, set apart ( devote) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)} all her army.
4 They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
^anand wounded in her streets.

Jeremiah 51:56-57

56 for a destroyer has come upon her,
upon Babylon;
her warriors are taken;
their bows are broken in pieces,
^aofor the Lord is a God of recompense;
he will surely repay.
57 ^apI will make drunk her officials and her wise men,
^aqher governors, her commanders, and her warriors;
they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake,
declares ^arthe King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
