48:2 People will not praise Moab any more.
The enemy will capture Heshbon
saying, ‘Come, let’s put an end to that nation!’
City of Madmen, you will also be destroyed.
A destructive army will march against you.
48:39 Oh, how shattered Moab will be!
Oh, how her people will wail!
Oh, how she will turn away
Moab will become an object of ridicule,
a terrifying sight to all the nations that surround her.”
51:41 “See how Babylon
See how the pride of the whole earth has been taken!
See what an object of horror
Babylon has become among the nations!
37:35 I have seen ruthless evil men
growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.
37:36 But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared!
I looked for them, but they could not be found.
1:26 I will reestablish honest judges as in former times,
wise advisers as in earlier days.
Then you will be called, ‘The Just City,
Faithful Town.’”
“Look how the oppressor has met his end!

14:5 The Lord has broken the club of the wicked,
the scepter of rulers.

with unceasing blows.
It angrily ruled over nations,
oppressing them without restraint.
“Woe, woe, O great city,
Babylon the powerful city!
For in a single hour your doom
“Woe, woe, O great city –
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing,
and adorned with gold,
18:17 because in a single hour such great wealth has been destroyed!”
And every ship’s captain,
“Woe, Woe, O great city –
in which all those who had ships on the sea got rich from her wealth –
because in a single hour she has been destroyed!”
