How is Babylon taken! and the praise of all the earth surprised! how has Babylon become a cause of wonder among the nations!
The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the mass of its waves.
Her towns have become a waste, a dry and unwatered land, where no man has his living-place and no son of man goes by.

My people, go out from her, and let every man get away safe from the burning wrath of the Lord.
