Isa 21:1-9 : 1 The burden{H4853} of the desert{H4057} of the sea{H3220}. As whirlwinds{H5492} in the south{H5045} pass{H2498}{(H8800)} through; so it cometh{H935}{(H8802)} from the desert{H4057}, from a terrible{H3372}{(H8737)} land{H776}. 2 A grievous{H7186} vision{H2380} is declared{H5046}{(H8717)} unto me; the treacherous dealer{H898}{(H8802)} dealeth treacherously{H898}{(H8802)}, and the spoiler{H7703}{(H8802)} spoileth{H7703}{(H8802)}. Go up{H5927}{(H8798)}, O Elam{H5867}: besiege{H6696}{(H8798)}, O Media{H4074}; all the sighing{H585} thereof have I made to cease{H7673}{(H8689)}. 3 Therefore are my loins{H4975} filled{H4390}{(H8804)} with pain{H2479}: pangs{H6735} have taken hold{H270}{(H8804)} upon me, as the pangs{H6735} of a woman that travaileth{H3205}{(H8802)}: I was bowed down{H5753}{(H8738)} at the hearing{H8085}{(H8800)} of it; I was dismayed{H926}{(H8738)} at the seeing{H7200}{(H8800)} of it. 4 My heart{H3824} panted{H8582}{(H8804)}, fearfulness{H6427} affrighted{H1204}{(H8765)} me: the night{H5399} of my pleasure{H2837} hath he turned{H7760}{(H8804)} into fear{H2731} unto me. 5 Prepare{H6186}{(H8800)} the table{H7979}, watch{H6822}{(H8800)} in the watchtower{H6844}, eat{H398}{(H8800)}, drink{H8354}{(H8800)}: arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, ye princes{H8269}, and anoint{H4886}{(H8798)} the shield{H4043}. 6 For thus hath the Lord{H136} said{H559}{(H8804)} unto me, Go{H3212}{(H8798)}, set{H5975}{(H8685)} a watchman{H6822}{(H8764)}, let him declare{H5046}{(H8686)} what he seeth{H7200}{(H8799)}. 7 And he saw{H7200}{(H8804)} a chariot{H7393} with a couple{H6776} of horsemen{H6571}, a chariot{H7393} of asses{H2543}, and a chariot{H7393} of camels{H1581}; and he hearkened{H7181}{(H8689)} diligently{H7182} with much{H7227} heed{H7182}: 8 And he cried{H7121}{(H8799)}, A lion{H738}: My lord{H136}, I stand{H5975}{(H8802)} continually{H8548} upon the watchtower{H4707} in the daytime{H3119}, and I am set{H5324}{(H8737)} in my ward{H4931} whole nights{H3915}: 9 And, behold, here cometh{H935}{(H8802)} a chariot{H7393} of men{H376}, with a couple{H6776} of horsemen{H6571}. And he answered{H6030}{(H8799)} and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Babylon{H894} is fallen{H5307}{(H8804)}, is fallen{H5307}{(H8804)}; and all the graven images{H6456} of her gods{H430} he hath broken{H7665}{(H8765)} unto the ground{H776}. 10 O my threshing{H4098}, and the corn{H1121} of my floor{H1637}: that which I have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} of the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, have I declared{H5046}{(H8689)} unto you.
Isa 23:13 : 13 Behold the land{H776} of the Chaldeans{H3778}; this people{H5971} was not, till the Assyrian{H804} founded{H3245}{(H8804)} it for them that dwell in the wilderness{H6728}: they set up{H6965}{(H8689)} the towers{H971} thereof, they raised up{H6209}{(H8782)} the palaces{H759} thereof; and he brought{H7760}{(H8804)} it to ruin{H4654}.
Isa 47:1-9 : 1 Come down{H3381}{(H8798)}, and sit{H3427}{(H8798)} in the dust{H6083}, O virgin{H1330} daughter{H1323} of Babylon{H894}, sit{H3427}{(H8798)} on the ground{H776}: there is no throne{H3678}, O daughter{H1323} of the Chaldeans{H3778}: for thou shalt no more{H3254}{(H8686)} be called{H7121}{(H8799)} tender{H7390} and delicate{H6028}. 2 Take{H3947}{(H8798)} the millstones{H7347}, and grind{H2912}{(H8798)} meal{H7058}: uncover{H1540}{(H8761)} thy locks{H6777}, make bare{H2834}{(H8798)} the leg{H7640}, uncover{H1540}{(H8761)} the thigh{H7785}, pass over{H5674}{(H8798)} the rivers{H5104}. 3 Thy nakedness{H6172} shall be uncovered{H1540}{(H8735)}, yea, thy shame{H2781} shall be seen{H7200}{(H8735)}: I will take{H3947}{(H8799)} vengeance{H5359}, and I will not meet{H6293}{(H8799)} thee as a man{H120}. 4 As for our redeemer{H1350}{(H8802)}, the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is his name{H8034}, the Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478}. 5 Sit{H3427}{(H8798)} thou silent{H1748}, and get{H935}{(H8798)} thee into darkness{H2822}, O daughter{H1323} of the Chaldeans{H3778}: for thou shalt no more{H3254}{(H8686)} be called{H7121}{(H8799)}, The lady{H1404} of kingdoms{H4467}. 6 I was wroth{H7107}{(H8804)} with my people{H5971}, I have polluted{H2490}{(H8765)} mine inheritance{H5159}, and given{H5414}{(H8799)} them into thine hand{H3027}: thou didst shew{H7760}{(H8804)} them no mercy{H7356}; upon the ancient{H2205} hast thou very{H3966} heavily{H3513}{(H8689)} laid thy yoke{H5923}. 7 And thou saidst{H559}{(H8799)}, I shall be a lady{H1404} for ever{H5769}: so that thou didst not lay{H7760}{(H8804)} these things to thy heart{H3820}, neither didst remember{H2142}{(H8804)} the latter end{H319} of it. 8 Therefore hear{H8085}{(H8798)} now this, thou that art given to pleasures{H5719}, that dwellest{H3427}{(H8802)} carelessly{H983}, that sayest{H559}{(H8802)} in thine heart{H3824}, I am, and none else{H657} beside me; I shall not sit{H3427}{(H8799)} as a widow{H490}, neither shall I know{H3045}{(H8799)} the loss of children{H7908}: 9 But these two{H8147} things shall come{H935}{(H8799)} to thee in a moment{H7281} in one{H259} day{H3117}, the loss of children{H7908}, and widowhood{H489}: they shall come{H935}{(H8804)} upon thee in their perfection{H8537} for the multitude{H7230} of thy sorceries{H3785}, and for the great{H3966} abundance{H6109} of thine enchantments{H2267}. 10 For thou hast trusted{H982}{(H8799)} in thy wickedness{H7451}: thou hast said{H559}{(H8804)}, None seeth{H7200}{(H8802)} me. Thy wisdom{H2451} and thy knowledge{H1847}, it hath perverted{H7725}{(H8790)} thee; and thou hast said{H559}{(H8799)} in thine heart{H3820}, I am, and none else{H657} beside me. 11 Therefore shall evil{H7451} come{H935}{(H8804)} upon thee; thou shalt not know{H3045}{(H8799)} from whence it riseth{H7837}: and mischief{H1943} shall fall{H5307}{(H8799)} upon thee; thou shalt not be able{H3201}{(H8799)} to put it off{H3722}{(H8763)}: and desolation{H7722} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} upon thee suddenly{H6597}, which thou shalt not know{H3045}{(H8799)}. 12 Stand{H5975}{(H8798)} now with thine enchantments{H2267}, and with the multitude{H7230} of thy sorceries{H3785}, wherein{H834} thou hast laboured{H3021}{(H8804)} from thy youth{H5271}; if so be thou shalt be able{H3201}{(H8799)} to profit{H3276}{(H8687)}, if so be thou mayest prevail{H6206}{(H8799)}. 13 Thou art wearied{H3811}{(H8738)} in the multitude{H7230} of thy counsels{H6098}. Let now the astrologers{H1895}{(H8802)}{H8064}, the stargazers{H2374}{H3556}, the monthly{H2320} prognosticators{H3045}{(H8688)}, stand up{H5975}{(H8799)}, and save{H3467}{(H8686)} thee from these things that shall come{H935}{(H8799)} upon thee. 14 Behold, they shall be as stubble{H7179}; the fire{H784} shall burn{H8313}{(H8804)} them; they shall not deliver{H5337}{(H8686)} themselves{H5315} from the power{H3027} of the flame{H3852}: there shall not be a coal{H1513} to warm{H2552}{(H8800)} at, nor fire{H217} to sit{H3427}{(H8800)} before it. 15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured{H3021}{(H8804)}, even thy merchants{H5503}{(H8802)}, from thy youth{H5271}: they shall wander{H8582}{(H8804)} every one{H376} to his quarter{H5676}; none shall save{H3467}{(H8688)} thee.

Ps 137:8-9 : 8 O daughter{H1323} of Babylon{H894}, who art to be destroyed{H7703}{(H8803)}; happy{H835} shall he be, that rewardeth{H7999}{(H8762)} thee as thou hast served{H1580}{(H8804)}{H1576} us. 9 Happy{H835} shall he be, that taketh{H270}{(H8799)} and dasheth{H5310}{(H8765)} thy little ones{H5768} against the stones{H5553}.
