I Am and There Is No One Besides Me, I Shall Not Sit as a Widow or Know the Loss of Children

The Lord summons disaster upon the Babylonians, a personified sword that is directed to every single part of Babylonian society. The proud will not survive long before the power of the Lord, the Lord delights to bring down the haughty. Alongside the sword, the Lord summons a drought against her waters. She will be dried up, her fertility will wither away. What will be left? A desolate wasteland populated by scavenging beasts. A place that like Sodom and Gomorrah will stand as a signal of the Lord's judgment, and his vengeance upon those who oppose him in pride.
