Isaiah 21:3-5

3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
^apangs have seized me,
like the pangs of a woman in labor;
I am bowed down so that I cannot hear;
I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
4 My heart staggers; horror has appalled me;
^bthe twilight I longed for
has been turned for me into trembling.
5 ^cThey prepare the table,
they spread the rugs, ^{▼▼Or they set the watchman}
they eat, they drink.
Arise, O princes;
^eoil the shield!

Jeremiah 51:8

8 ^fSuddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
^gwail for her!
^hTake balm for her pain;
perhaps she may be healed.

Jeremiah 51:31-39

31 One ⁱrunner runs to meet another,
and one messenger to meet another,
to tell the king of Babylon
that his city is taken on every side;
32 the fords have been ^jseized,
the marshes are burned with fire,
and the soldiers are in panic.
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
^kThe daughter of Babylon is like ^la threshing floor
at the time when it is trodden;
yet a little while
and ^mthe time of her harvest will come.”
34 “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon ⁿhas devoured me;
he has crushed me;
he has made me an empty vessel;
^ohe has swallowed me like ^pa monster;
he has filled his stomach with my delicacies;
he has rinsed me out. ^{▼▼Or he has expelled me}
35 The violence done to me and to my kinsmen be upon Babylon,”
let the inhabitant of Zion say.
“My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
let Jerusalem say.
36 Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, ^rI will plead your cause
and take vengeance for you.
^sI will dry up her sea
and ^tmake her fountain dry,
37 and Babylon shall become ^ua heap of ruins,
^vthe haunt of jackals,
^wa horror ^xand a hissing,
without inhabitant.
38 ^y“They shall roar together ^zlike lions;
they shall growl like lions’ cubs.
39 ^aaWhile they are inflamed ^abI will prepare them a feast
and ^acmake them drunk, that they may become merry,
^adthen sleep a perpetual sleep
and not wake, declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:57

57 ^aeI will make drunk her officials and her wise men,
^afher governors, her commanders, and her warriors;
they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake,
declares ^agthe King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

Daniel 5:30-31

30 ^ahThat very night ^aiBelshazzar the ^ajChaldean king was killed. 31 ^{▼▼Ch 6:1 in Aramaic} And ^alDarius ^amthe Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

Revelation of John 18:7-8

7 ^anAs she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
^ao‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come ^apin a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and ^aqshe will be burned up with fire;
for ^armighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
