  • Isaiah 21:9
    And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!”
    Then he answered and said,
    “ Babylon is fallen, is fallen!
    And all the carved images of her gods
    He has broken to the ground.”

     
  • Isaiah 47:1-15
    “Come down and sit in the dust,
    O virgin daughter of Babylon;
    Sit on the ground without a throne,
    O daughter of the Chaldeans!
    For you shall no more be called
    Tender and delicate.
    Take the millstones and grind meal.
    Remove your veil,
    Take off the skirt,
    Uncover the thigh,
    Pass through the rivers.
    Your nakedness shall be uncovered,
    Yes, your shame will be seen;
    I will take vengeance,
    And I will not arbitrate with a man.”
    As for our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name,
    The Holy One of Israel.
    “ Sit in silence, and go into darkness,
    O daughter of the Chaldeans;
    For you shall no longer be called
    The Lady of Kingdoms.
    I was angry with My people;
    I have profaned My inheritance,
    And given them into your hand.
    You showed them no mercy;
    On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.
    And you said, ‘I shall be a lady forever,’
    So that you did not take these things to heart,
    Nor remember the latter end of them.
    “ Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures,
    Who dwell securely,
    Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;
    I shall not sit as a widow,
    Nor shall I know the loss of children’;
    But these two things shall come to you
    In a moment, in one day:
    The loss of children, and widowhood.
    They shall come upon you in their fullness
    Because of the multitude of your sorceries,
    For the great abundance of your enchantments.
    “ For you have trusted in your wickedness;
    You have said, ‘No one sees me’;
    Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you;
    And you have said in your heart,
    ‘ I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
    Therefore evil shall come upon you;
    You shall not know from where it arises.
    And trouble shall fall upon you;
    You will not be able to put it off.
    And desolation shall come upon you suddenly,
    Which you shall not know.
    “ Stand now with your enchantments
    And the multitude of your sorceries,
    In which you have labored from your youth—
    Perhaps you will be able to profit,
    Perhaps you will prevail.
    You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;
    Let now the astrologers, the stargazers,
    And the monthly prognosticators
    Stand up and save you
    From what shall come upon you.
    Behold, they shall be as stubble,
    The fire shall burn them;
    They shall not deliver themselves
    From the power of the flame;
    It shall not be a coal to be warmed by,
    Nor a fire to sit before!
    Thus shall they be to you
    With whom you have labored,
    Your merchants from your youth;
    They shall wander each one to his quarter.
    No one shall save you.

    Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,
     
  • Revelation 17:3-6
    So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written:
    MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.

    In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, "I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow."
