Isaiah 14:22-24
New Catholic Bible
22 I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts, and I will deprive Babylon of her name and remnant, her offspring and posterity, says the Lord. 23 I will cause it to become a haunt of the hedgehogs and a marshland; I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, says the Lord of hosts.

As I have resolved, so will it be;
as I have planned, so will it come to pass.
