The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh
Jeremiah 51:35-58
New International Version
35 May the violence(A) done to our flesh[a] be on Babylon,”
say the inhabitants of Zion.
“May our blood be on those who live in Babylonia,”
says Jerusalem.(B)
36 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“See, I will defend your cause(C)
and avenge(D) you;
I will dry up(E) her sea
and make her springs dry.
37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins,
a haunt(F) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,(G)
a place where no one lives.(H)
38 Her people all roar like young lions,(I)
they growl like lion cubs.
39 But while they are aroused,
I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk,(J)
so that they shout with laughter—
then sleep forever(K) and not awake,”
declares the Lord.(L)
40 “I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.(M)
41 “How Sheshak[b](N) will be captured,(O)
the boast of the whole earth seized!
How desolate(P) Babylon will be
among the nations!
42 The sea will rise over Babylon;
its roaring waves(Q) will cover her.
43 Her towns will be desolate,
a dry and desert(R) land,
a land where no one lives,
through which no one travels.(S)
44 I will punish Bel(T) in Babylon
and make him spew out(U) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
And the wall(V) of Babylon will fall.
45 “Come out(W) of her, my people!
Run(X) for your lives!
Run from the fierce anger(Y) of the Lord.
46 Do not lose heart(Z) or be afraid(AA)
when rumors(AB) are heard in the land;
one rumor comes this year, another the next,
rumors of violence in the land
and of ruler against ruler.
47 For the time will surely come
when I will punish the idols(AC) of Babylon;
her whole land will be disgraced(AD)
and her slain will all lie fallen within her.(AE)
48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
will shout(AF) for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north(AG)
destroyers(AH) will attack her,”
declares the Lord.
49 “Babylon must fall because of Israel’s slain,
just as the slain in all the earth
have fallen because of Babylon.(AI)
50 You who have escaped the sword,
leave(AJ) and do not linger!
Remember(AK) the Lord in a distant land,(AL)
and call to mind Jerusalem.”
51 “We are disgraced,(AM)
for we have been insulted
and shame covers our faces,
because foreigners have entered
the holy places of the Lord’s house.”(AN)
52 “But days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will punish her idols,(AO)
and throughout her land
the wounded will groan.(AP)
53 Even if Babylon ascends to the heavens(AQ)
and fortifies her lofty stronghold,
I will send destroyers(AR) against her,”
declares the Lord.
54 “The sound of a cry(AS) comes from Babylon,
the sound of great destruction(AT)
from the land of the Babylonians.[c]
55 The Lord will destroy Babylon;
he will silence(AU) her noisy din.
Waves(AV) of enemies will rage like great waters;
the roar of their voices will resound.
56 A destroyer(AW) will come against Babylon;
her warriors will be captured,
and their bows will be broken.(AX)
For the Lord is a God of retribution;
he will repay(AY) in full.
57 I will make her officials(AZ) and wise(BA) men drunk,(BB)
her governors, officers and warriors as well;
they will sleep(BC) forever and not awake,”
declares the King,(BD) whose name is the Lord Almighty.
58 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

Jeremiah 6:22-23
New International Version
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Look, an army is coming
from the land of the north;(A)
a great nation is being stirred up
from the ends of the earth.(B)
23 They are armed with bow and spear;
they are cruel and show no mercy.(C)
They sound like the roaring sea(D)
as they ride on their horses;(E)
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Zion.(F)”
Isaiah 47:10-15
New International Version
10 You have trusted(A) in your wickedness
and have said, ‘No one sees me.’(B)
Your wisdom(C) and knowledge mislead(D) you
when you say to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 Disaster(E) will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly(F) come upon you.
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(G)
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(H)
Let your astrologers(I) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(J) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(K)
the fire(L) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(M)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
15 That is all they are to you—
these you have dealt with
and labored(N) with since childhood.
All of them go on in their error;
there is not one that can save(O) you.

Revelation 19:17-21
New International Version
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds(A) flying in midair,(B) “Come,(C) gather together for the great supper of God,(D) 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people,(E) free and slave,(F) great and small.”(G)
19 Then I saw the beast(H) and the kings of the earth(I) and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse(J) and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet(K) who had performed the signs(L) on its behalf.(M) With these signs he had deluded(N) those who had received the mark of the beast(O) and worshiped its image.(P) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake(Q) of burning sulfur.(R) 21 The rest were killed with the sword(S) coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,(T) and all the birds(U) gorged themselves on their flesh.
