4 you will recite this proverb* against the king of Babylon:

“How the one forcing others to work* has met his end!

How the oppression has ended!+

 8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and is broken.+

Wail over her!+

Get balsam for her pain; perhaps she may be healed.”

28 “PEʹRES, your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.”+

30 That very night Bel·shazʹzar the Chal·deʹan king was killed.+

8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying: “She has fallen! Babylon the Great+ has fallen,+ she who made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion* of her sexual immorality!”*+
