“the king and his officials will lose their courage.
The priests will be struck with horror,
and the prophets will be speechless in astonishment.”

See what an object of horror
Babylon has become among the nations!

Jackals will make their home there.
It will become an object of horror and of hissing scorn,
a place where no one lives.

See how the pride of the whole earth has been taken!
See what an object of horror
Babylon has become among the nations!
