Isaiah 14:22-24
International Standard Version
Babylon’s Desolation
22 “I will rise up against them,” declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, “and I will eliminate from Babylon her name and survivors, her offspring and descendants,”[a] declares the Lord. 23 “And[b] I’m going to make it a possession of the hedgehog—pools[c] of water—and I’ll sweep[d] with the broom of destruction,” declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
24 The Lord of the Heavenly Armies has sworn:
“Surely as I have planned,
that’s what she[e] will become;[f]
and just as I have determined,
so will it remain—
