1 Woe to you, Babylon, and Asia! woe to you, Egypt, and Syria!
2 Gird up yourselves with sackcloth and garments of hair, and bewail your children, and lament; for your destruction is at hand.
3 A sword is sent upon you, and who is he that may turn it back?
4 A fire is sent upon you, and who is he that may quench it?
