44 They will come to it, surround it, and pour out their tempest and all their wrath over it. Dust and smoke will go up to heaven, and all around will mourn it.
45 Those who survive will serve those who destroyed it.
46 You, Asia—you who share in Babylon’s splendor and the glory of the mask it wears—
47 how terrible it will be for you, wretched one, because you have become like Babylon. You dressed up your daughters for sexual immorality, to please and take pride in your lovers, who have always lusted for you.
48 You have imitated that repulsive one in all her works and devices. Therefore, God says,
49 I will send disasters upon you—widowhood, poverty, hunger, sword, and disease—to desolate your houses, to bring you to devastation and death.
50 Your glorious strength will dry up like a flower when the heat that is sent against you rises.
