⁴⁷ For this cause, truly, the days are coming when I will send punishment on the images of Babylon, and all her land will be shamed, and her dead will be falling down in her.

³⁸ A sword is on her waters, drying them up; for it is a land of images, and their minds are fixed on false gods.

¹⁵ Everyone who is overtaken will have a spear put through him, and everyone who goes in flight will be put to the sword.

¹⁶ Their young children will be broken up before their eyes; their goods will be taken away, and their wives made the property of others.

²⁴ And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and will put my sword in his hand: but Pharaoh's arms will be broken, and he will give cries of pain before him like the cries of a man wounded to death.

³⁰ That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death.
