bthe insolent fury ▼

ceased!5The Lord has broken the dstaff of the wicked,
the escepter of rulers,
6 fthat struck the peoples in wrath
with unceasing blows,
that ruled the nations in anger
with unrelenting persecution.
7The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
gthey break forth into singing.
8 h, iThe cypresses rejoice at you,
jthe cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Since you were laid low,
no woodcutter comes up against us.’
9Sheol beneath is stirred up
to meet you when you come;
it rouses the shades to greet you,
all who were leaders of the earth;
it raises from their thrones
all who were kings of the nations.
10 kAll of them will answer
and say to you:
‘You too have become as weak as we!
You have become like us!’
11Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
the sound of your harps;
maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,
and worms are your covers.
12 “How lyou are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, mson of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!
13You said in your heart,
n‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
oI will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north; ▼
▼Or in the remote parts of Zaphon
14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 qBut you are brought down to Sheol,
to the far reaches of the pit.
Jeremiah 50:46
46 rAt the sound of the capture of Babylon the earth shall tremble, and her cry shall be heard among the nations.”Ezekiel 21:16
16Cut sharply to the right; set yourself to the left, wherever your face is directed.Ezekiel 26:15-18
15“Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Will not sthe coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, twhen the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst? 16Then all uthe princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and vremove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; wthey will sit on the ground and xtremble every moment and ybe appalled at you. 17And they will zraise a lamentation over you and say to you,“‘How you have perished,
you who were inhabited from the seas,
O city renowned,
aawho was mighty on the sea;
she and her inhabitants abimposed their terror
on all her inhabitants!
18Now the coastlands tremble
on the day of your fall,
and the coastlands that are on the sea
are dismayed at your passing.’
Ezekiel 32:10
10 acI will make many peoples appalled at you, and the hair of their kings shall bristle with horror because of you, when adI brandish my sword before them. aeThey shall tremble every moment, every one for his own life, on the day of your downfall.Revelation of John 18:10
10 afThey will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,“Alas! Alas! agYou great city,
you mighty city, Babylon!
For ahin a single hour your judgment has come.”
