Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
So listen up, the time is coming when I'm going to deal with Babylon's fake gods and idols. Their entire country is going to be thrown into chaos, and bodies will be scattered everywhere throughout their land.
God's judgment day for Babylon and their false gods is coming, and it's going to be devastating.
