  • Isa 13:1-3 : 1 The burden against Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw. 2 Lift up a banner on a bare hill; shout to them. Wave your hand so they may enter the gates of the nobles. 3 I have commanded My consecrated ones; I have also summoned My mighty ones, those who exult in My majesty, to carry out My anger.
  • Jer 51:1-9 : 1 This is what the Lord says: 'Behold, I am stirring up a destructive wind against Babylon and against the inhabitants of Leb-qamai.' 2 I will send strangers against Babylon to scatter her and empty her land, for they will surround her on the day of calamity. 3 Do not let the archer bend his bow or put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; completely destroy her entire army. 4 The slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans, those pierced by the sword in her streets. 5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the Lord of Hosts, though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel. 6 Flee from Babylon! Save your lives! Do not perish in her punishment, for it is the time of the Lord's vengeance; He will repay her what she has done. 7 Babylon was a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, intoxicating the whole earth. The nations drank her wine; therefore, they have gone mad. 8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been shattered. Wail for her! Take balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed. 9 We tried to heal Babylon, but she could not be healed. Leave her, and let each one go to his own land, for her judgment has reached to the heavens and has risen to the skies. 10 The Lord has brought about our vindication. Come, let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God. 11 Sharpen the arrows; fill the quivers! The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because His purpose is against Babylon to destroy her. This is the Lord's vengeance, the vengeance for His temple. 12 Raise a banner against the walls of Babylon! Strengthen the guard, post the watchmen, prepare ambushes, for the Lord has planned and carried out what He purposed against the inhabitants of Babylon. 13 You who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness. 14 The Lord of Hosts has sworn by Himself, 'Surely, I will fill you with men as numerous as locusts, and they will raise a shout of triumph over you.'
  • Jer 25:26-27 : 26 And all the kings of the north, near and far, one after another—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after them, the king of Sheshach will drink. 27 Then say to them: This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'Drink, get drunk, and vomit; fall and do not rise, because of the sword I am sending among you.'
  • Jer 27:7 : 7 All nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until the time for his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their slave.
  • Hab 2:5-9 : 5 Indeed, because wine betrays, and an arrogant man is restless, enlarging his appetite like Sheol and never satisfied, he gathers all the nations to himself and collects all peoples as his own. 6 Will not all these take up a taunt against him, with mocking sayings and riddles? They will say, "Woe to him who amasses what is not his! How long will this go on? And who weighs himself down with stolen goods?" 7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise? Will not those who make you tremble wake up? Then you will become their plunder. 8 Because you have plundered many nations, the remnant of peoples will plunder you—because of human bloodshed and violence against the land, the cities, and everyone who lives in them. 9 Woe to the one who gains unjust wealth for his house, to set his nest on high, to be safe from the reach of calamity! 10 You have planned disgrace for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your own life. 11 For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the wooden beam will answer it. 12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town with injustice! 13 Is it not from the LORD of Hosts that peoples labor for fire and nations grow weary for nothing? 14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. 15 Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor, pouring out your wrath and making him drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness! 16 You are filled with shame instead of glory; drink, yes, you too, and be exposed! The cup from the LORD's right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. 17 The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of beasts will terrify you, because of human bloodshed and violence against the land, the city, and all who live in it. 18 What profit is an idol when its maker has carved it, or a cast image that teaches falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own creation to make worthless idols that cannot speak. 19 Woe to him who says to wood, 'Awake!' or to silent stone, 'Arise!' Can it teach? Look, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet there is no breath at all within it. 20 But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.
  • Acts 7:4 : 4 So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him to this land where you are now living.

  • Rev 18:1-9 : 1 After these things, I saw another angel descending from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory. 2 He cried out with a mighty voice, saying, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a prison for every unclean spirit, and a cage for every unclean and detested bird.' 3 For all the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the abundance of her luxurious living. 4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, so that you do not share in her sins and so that you do not receive any of her plagues.' 5 For her sins have piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her injustices. 6 Repay her as she herself has repaid others, and pay her back double according to her deeds; in the cup she has mixed, mix a double portion for her. 7 As much as she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, give her that much torment and grief, because in her heart she says, 'I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and I will never see grief.' 8 Because of this, her plagues will come in a single day: death, mourning, and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for the mighty Lord God is the one who judges her. 9 The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality with her and lived in luxury will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 Standing far off because of the fear of her torment, they will say, 'Woe, woe to the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.' 11 The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her, because no one buys their cargo anymore— 12 cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, crimson, all kinds of scented wood, every article of ivory, every article made of the most costly wood, and of bronze, iron, and marble, 13 and cinnamon, spice, incense, ointment, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and human bodies and souls. 14 The fruit your soul longed for has departed from you. All your luxurious and splendid things are lost to you, never to be found again. 15 The merchants who became rich from her will stand far off, out of fear for her torment, weeping and mourning, 16 saying, 'Woe, woe to the great city, dressed in fine linen, purple, and crimson, adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls!' 17 For in one hour such great wealth has been destroyed!' Every ship captain, all who travel by ship, sailors, and those who earn their living from the sea stood far off, 18 And they cried out as they watched the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What city is like the great city?' 19 And they threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe to the great city, in which all who owned ships at sea became rich from her wealth! For in one hour she has been laid waste.' 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints, apostles, and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her! 21 Then a mighty angel picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, 'Thus, with violence, Babylon the great city will be thrown down, and it will never be found again.' 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flute players, and trumpeters will never be heard in you again. No craftsman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of a bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all the nations were deceived by your sorcery. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.
  • Isa 14:4 : 4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased! How the arrogance has ended!
  • Isa 21:1-9 : 1 This is a prophecy about the wilderness by the sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the Negev, it comes from the desert, from a dreadful land. 2 A harsh vision has been shown to me: The betrayer betrays, and the destroyer devastates. Go up, Elam! Surround, Media! I have put an end to all her groaning. 3 Therefore my body is filled with trembling; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman in labor. I am bent over by what I heard; I am dismayed by what I saw. 4 My heart staggers; terror overwhelms me. The twilight I longed for has been turned into trembling for me. 5 Prepare the table, set a watchman in the watchtower, eat and drink. Rise up, you princes, and anoint the shield! 6 For this is what the Lord said to me: 'Go, station a watchman, and let him report what he sees.' 7 When he sees chariots with pairs of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, let him carefully listen, paying close attention. 8 Then he called out, 'Lion! My Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower by day, and I stay at my guard post through all the nights.' 9 And behold, here comes a chariot of men, with pairs of horsemen. And he answered, saying, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon! All the carved images of her gods are shattered to the ground.' 10 O my threshed people and my people crushed on the threshing floor, what I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.

  • Isa 47:1-9 : 1 Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for you will no longer be called tender and delicate. 2 Take a millstone and grind flour; remove your veil, strip off your train, uncover your legs, and cross the rivers. 3 Your nakedness will be uncovered, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no one. 4 Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name—the Holy One of Israel. 5 Sit silently and enter into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for you will no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms. 6 I was angry with My people, I profaned My heritage and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly. 7 You said, 'I will be a mistress forever,' but you did not take these things to heart or remember their outcome. 8 Now hear this, you pleasure-loving one, sitting securely, who says in her heart, 'I am, and there is no one besides me; I will not sit as a widow, or know the loss of children.' 9 But these two things will come upon you in a moment, in one day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, despite your many sorceries and the great power of your spells. 10 You felt secure in your wickedness and said, 'No one sees me.' Your wisdom and your knowledge have led you astray, and you said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one besides me.' 11 But disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to charm it away; calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off; and devastation will come upon you suddenly, without warning. 12 Persist then with your spells and your many sorceries, with which you have labored from your youth—perhaps you might succeed, perhaps you might cause terror. 13 You are wearied with your many counsels; let those who divide the heavens, those who gaze at the stars, those who announce the months, stand now and save you from what is coming upon you. 14 Behold, they are like stubble; fire consumes them. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coal for warming oneself, nor fire to sit before. 15 This is how it will be for those with whom you have labored, those who have traded with you from your youth; each one wanders to his own way—there is no one to save you.
