And of Assyria and Babylon,

The Immortal purposed upon Babylon

Alas, alas for thee! O Babylon,

O Babylon, shall it come from above,

And she shall tame fenced city Babylon,

The long walls of Assyrian Babylon

And Babylon, great to see but small to fight,

whom Babylon dishonored, and stretched out

And the Persians he shall rule and Babylon;

From Babylon shall flee the fearful lord

The vasty deep, and Babylon itself,

In all Armenia, and in Pontus, and in Bithynia the young men shall fall by the sword, and the sons and the daughters shall be captives. [The sons and the daughters] of Lycaonia shall be mingled in [their] blood. Pisidia which boasteth, and trusteth in [her] riches, shall be over- thrown [even] to the ground. The sword shall pass through Phoenicia, because [her inhabitants] are children of corruption. Judaea shall clothe herself with lamentation, and shall be made ready for the day of destruction, because of her uncleanness. Then shall she gather together the abomination of desolation.
