12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(A)
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!(B)
Let your astrologers(C) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(D) you from what is coming upon you.

2 With a mighty voice he shouted:
“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a](A)
She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,(B)
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.(C)
3 For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.(D)
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,(E)
and the merchants of the earth grew rich(F) from her excessive luxuries.”(G)

Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast
17 One of the seven angels(A) who had the seven bowls(B) came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment(C) of the great prostitute,(D) who sits by many waters.(E) 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”(F)
3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit(G) into a wilderness.(H) There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet(I) beast that was covered with blasphemous names(J) and had seven heads and ten horns.(K) 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls.(L) She held a golden cup(M) in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.(N) 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery:(O)

25 At every street corner(A) you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by.(B) 26 You engaged in prostitution(C) with the Egyptians,(D) your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger(E) with your increasing promiscuity.(F) 27 So I stretched out my hand(G) against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over(H) to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines,(I) who were shocked by your lewd conduct. 28 You engaged in prostitution with the Assyrians(J) too, because you were insatiable; and even after that, you still were not satisfied.(K) 29 Then you increased your promiscuity to include Babylonia,[a](L) a land of merchants, but even with this you were not satisfied.(M)

Isaiah 23:15-17

15 At that time Tyre(A) will be forgotten for seventy years,(B) the span of a king’s life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:
16 “Take up a harp, walk through the city,
you forgotten prostitute;(C)
play the harp well, sing many a song,
so that you will be remembered.”
17 At the end of seventy years,(D) the Lord will deal with Tyre. She will return to her lucrative prostitution(E) and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.(F)
