9  ^uThese two things shall come to you

in a moment, ^vin one day;

the loss of children and widowhood

shall come upon you in full measure,

^win spite of your many sorceries

and the great power of your enchantments.

“Alas! Alas! ^lYou great city,

you mighty city, Babylon!

For ^min a single hour your judgment has come.”
