53. Because Babylon goeth up to the heavens, And because it fenceth the high place of its strength, From Me come into it do spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
54. A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
55. For Jehovah is spoiling Babylon, And hath destroyed out of it a great voice, And sounded have its billows as many waters, Given forth a noise hath their voice.
56. For come in against it--against Babylon--hath a spoiler, And captured have been its mighty ones, Broken have been their bows, For the God of recompences--Jehovah--doth certainly repay.
