8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen, so that she is broken.+ Howl over her, YOU people.+ Take balsam for her pain.+ Perhaps she may be healed.”

31 “One runner runs to meet another runner, and one reporter to meet another reporter,+ to report to the king of Babylon that his city has been captured at every end,*+

30 In that very night* Bel·shazʹzar the Chal·deʹan king was killed+

8 That is why in one day her plagues+ will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire,+ because Jehovah* God, who judged her, is strong.+
