And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
Then you'll say, 'This is how Babylon will go down and never recover from the disaster I'm bringing on them, they'll be completely exhausted.' That's where Jeremiah's words end.
Even the mightiest powers aren't untouchable when they've gone too far.
