Isaiah 13:6

O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have recompensed us.

Now what will you do in the day of visitation, And in the devastation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?

Behold, the day of Yahweh is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.

“I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog and swamps of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” declares Yahweh of hosts.

For Yahweh has a day of vengeance, A year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

“But evil will come on you Which you will not know how to charm away; And disaster will fall on you For which you cannot atone; And destruction about which you do not know Will come on you suddenly.

To proclaim the favorable year of Yahweh And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all who mourn,

“Behold, My slaves will shout joyfully with a merry heart, But you will cry out with a pained heart, And you will wail with a broken spirit.

Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken; Wail over her! Take balm for her pain; Perhaps she may be healed.

“You have not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of Yahweh.

“Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’

Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, and the splendor of his face changed further, and his nobles were perplexed.

“This is the interpretation of the message: ‘MENE’—God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.

Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Behold, a day is coming for Yahweh when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you.

Come now, you rich, cry, howling over your miseries which are coming upon you.
