Babylon Judged: The Fall of the Hammer and the Return of the LORD’s Flock
The chapter moves from Babylon’s announced capture and the shame of its gods, to the return of Israel and Judah, to the exposure of Israel as scattered sheep, to Babylon’s punishment as the last devourer, to the LORD’s attack on Babylon’s pride, idols, and warriors, and finally to the collapse of Babylon as a world-shaking judgment.
Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources
11“Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph—you who plunder My inheritance—because you frolic like a heifer treading grain and neigh like stallions,
12your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who bore you will be disgraced. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13Because of the wrath of the LORD, she will not be inhabited; she will become completely desolate. All who pass through Babylon will be horrified and will hiss at all her wounds.
