Key Passages
Bel crouches; Nebo cowers.Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle.The images you carry are burdensome,a load to the weary animal.
“Announce and declare to the nations;lift up a banner and proclaim it;hold nothing back when you say,‘Babylon is captured;Bel is put to shame;Marduk is shattered,her images are disgraced,her idols are broken in pieces.’
I will punish Bel in Babylon.I will make him spew out what he swallowed.The nations will no longer stream to him;even the wall of Babylon will fall.
