Psa 137:8, Isa 66:6, Jer 50:29-34, 51:6, 20-27, 35-41, Rev 18:20-24 | ESV | STEP | O daughter of Babylon , doomed to be destroyed , blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us !

29 ^d“Summon archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. ^eEncamp around her; let no one escape. ^fRepay her according to her deeds; do to her according to all that she has done. For she has ^gproudly defied the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 30 ^hTherefore 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 ⁱproud one,
declares the Lord God of hosts,
^jfor your day has come,
the time when I will punish you.
32 ^kThe proud one shall stumble and fall,
with none to raise him up,
^land I will kindle a fire in his cities,
and it will devour all that is around him.
33 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^mThe people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah with them. All who took them captive have held them fast; ⁿthey refuse to let them go. 34 ^oTheir Redeemer is strong; ^pthe Lord of hosts is his name. ^qHe will surely plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, but unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.

Jeremiah 51:6

6 ^r“Flee from the midst of Babylon;
let every one save his life!
^sBe not cut off in her punishment,
^tfor this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance,
the repayment he is rendering her.

Jeremiah 51:20-27

20 “You are my hammer and weapon of war:
with you I ^ubreak nations in pieces;
with you I destroy kingdoms;
21 with you I break in pieces the horse and his rider;
with you I break in pieces the chariot and the charioteer;
22 with you I break in pieces man and woman;
with you I break in pieces ^vthe old man and the youth;
with you I break in pieces ^wthe young man and the young woman;
23 with you I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock;
with you I break in pieces the farmer and his team;
with you I break in pieces ^xgovernors and commanders.
24 ^y“I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea before your very eyes for all the evil that they have done in Zion, declares the Lord.

25 “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain,

declares the Lord,
which destroys the whole earth;
I will stretch out my hand against you,
and roll you down from the crags,
^zand make you a burnt mountain.
26 No ^aastone shall be taken from you for a corner
and no stone for a foundation,
but you shall be ^aba perpetual waste,
declares the Lord.
27 ^ac“Set up a standard on the earth;
^adblow the trumpet among the nations;
^aeprepare ^afthe nations for war against her;
summon against her ^agthe kingdoms,
^ahArarat, Minni, and ^aiAshkenaz;
appoint a ^ajmarshal against her;
^akbring up horses like bristling locusts.

Jeremiah 51:35-41

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, ^alI will plead your cause
and take vengeance for you.
^amI will dry up her sea
and ^anmake her fountain dry,
37 and Babylon shall become ^aoa heap of ruins,
^apthe haunt of jackals,
^aqa horror ^arand a hissing,
without inhabitant.
38 ^as“They shall roar together ^atlike lions;
they shall growl like lions’ cubs.
39 ^auWhile they are inflamed ^avI will prepare them a feast
and ^awmake them drunk, that they may become merry,
^axthen sleep a perpetual sleep
and not wake, declares the Lord.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and male goats.
41 “How ^ayBabylon ^{▼▼Hebrew Sheshach, a code name for Babylon} is taken,
^bathe praise of the whole earth ^bbseized!
How Babylon has become
a horror among the nations!

Revelation of John 18:20-24

20 ^bcRejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and ^bdapostles and prophets,
for ^beGod has given judgment for you against her!”
21 Then ^bfa mighty angel ^bgtook up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

“So will Babylon ^bhthe great city be thrown down with violence,
and will be found no more;
22 and ^bithe sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and ^bjthe sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and ^bkthe voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for ^blyour merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived ^bmby your sorcery.
24 And ^bnin her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of ^boall who have been slain on earth.”
