“Woe, woe, O great city,
Babylon the powerful city!
For in a single hour your doom
47:9 Both of these will come upon you
suddenly, in one day!
You will lose your children and be widowed.
You will be overwhelmed by these tragedies,
despite
and your numerous amulets.
51:8 But suddenly Babylonia will fall and be destroyed.
Cry out in mourning over it!
Get medicine for her wounds!
Perhaps she can be healed!
ו (Vav)
4:6 The punishment
exceeded that of
which was overthrown in a moment
with no one to help her.
