Isaiah 21:9

horsemen in pairs.”

“Babylon has fallen,(A) has fallen.
All the images of her gods
have been shattered on the ground.”(B)
Jeremiah 51:7-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand,(A)
making the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;(B)
therefore, the nations go mad.(C)
8 Suddenly Babylon fell and was shattered.
Wail for her;
get balm(D) for her wound—
perhaps she can be healed.
Jeremiah 51:49
Holman Christian Standard Bible
49 Babylon must fall because of the slain of Israel,
even as the slain of all the earth fell
because of Babylon.
Revelation 18:2
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 He cried in a mighty voice:
It has fallen,[a]
Babylon the Great has fallen!(A)
She has become a dwelling for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
and a haunt[b] for every unclean and despicable beast.[c](B)
Footnotes
- Revelation 18:2 Other mss omit It has fallen
- Revelation 18:2 Or prison
- Revelation 18:2 Other mss omit the words and a haunt for every unclean beast. The words and despicable then refer to the bird of the previous line.
