Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.

The Lord of armies has said: The wide walls of Babylon will be completely uncovered and her high doorways will be burned with fire; so peoples keep on working for nothing, and the weariness of nations comes to an end in the smoke.

Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων· τα πλατεα τειχη της Βαβυλωνος θελουσιν ολοτελως κατασκαφη, και αι πυλαι αυτης αι υψηλαι θελουσι κατακαη εν πυρι, και οσα οι λαοι εκοπιασαν θελουσιν εισθαι εις ματην, και οσα τα εθνη εμοχθησαν θελουσιν εισθαι δια το πυρ.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
