Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come unto her, saith Jehovah.

Even if Babylon was lifted up to heaven, even if she had the high places of her strength shut in with walls, still I would send against her those who will make her waste, says the Lord.

Και αν η Βαβυλων αναβη εως του ουρανου και αν οχυρωση το υψος της δυναμεως αυτης, θελουσιν ελθει παρ' εμου εξολοθρευται επ' αυτην, λεγει Κυριος.

Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord.
