May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea, says Jerusalem. 36 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: 'Behold, I will defend your cause and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea and make her fountains dry.' 37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt for jackals, a horror and an object of scorn, without inhabitant. 38 They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs. 39 While they are heated up, I will prepare their feast and make them drunk, so they will revel and then sleep a perpetual sleep, never to wake up, declares the Lord. 40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats. 41 'How Sheshach has been captured, the glory of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations! 42 The sea has risen over Babylon; she is covered by its roaring waves. 43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and barren land where no one lives, and through which no man passes. 44 'I will punish Bel in Babylon and make him spew out what he has swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him, and even the wall of Babylon will fall. 45 Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the Lord. 46 Do not let your heart grow faint, and do not be afraid of the rumors heard in the land. One year a rumor will come, and the next year another rumor—violence in the land and ruler against ruler. 47 Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the idols of Babylon. Her whole land will be disgraced, and all her slain will fall within her. 48 Then the heavens and the earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon, because out of the north destroyers will come against her, declares the Lord. 49 Babylon must fall because of the slain of Israel, just as the slain of all the earth have fallen because of Babylon. 50 You who have escaped the sword, go! Do not linger. Remember the Lord from afar, and let Jerusalem come to your mind. 51 We are ashamed because we have heard reproach; disgrace has covered our faces because foreigners have entered the holy places of the Lord's house. 52 'Therefore, behold, the days are coming,' declares the Lord, 'when I will punish her idols, and throughout her land the wounded will groan.' 53 Even if Babylon ascends to the heavens and fortifies her lofty stronghold, from Me destroyers will come against her, declares the Lord. 54 The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans. 55 For the Lord is laying Babylon waste and silencing her loud noise. Her waves roar like mighty waters; the sound of their tumult resounds. 56 For a destroyer has come against Babylon; her warriors are captured, their bows are broken. For the Lord is a God of retribution; He will fully repay. 57 I will make her officials, wise men, governors, commanders, and warriors drunk, and they will sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, declares the King, whose name is the Lord of Hosts. 58 This is what the Lord of Hosts says: The broad walls of Babylon will be utterly demolished, and her high gates burned with fire. The peoples labor in vain; the nations exhaust themselves only to fuel the flames.

By these signs he had deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
