His roots are intertwined around a pile of rocks.

He looks for a home among the stones.

he will dwell in ruined cities,

in abandoned houses destined to become piles of rubble.

when I declared, “You may come this far, but no farther;

your proud waves stop here”?

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;

all your breakers and your billows have swept over me.

You silence the roar of the seas,

the roar of their waves,

and the tumult of the nations.

You rule the raging sea;

when its waves surge, you still them.

He spoke and raised a stormy wind

that stirred up the waves of the sea.[fn]

He stilled the storm to a whisper,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

My sister, my bride, you are a locked garden —

a locked garden[fn] and a sealed spring.

For you have turned the city into a pile of rocks,

a fortified city, into ruins;

the fortress of barbarians is no longer a city;

it will never be rebuilt.

Have you not heard?

I designed it long ago;

I planned it in days gone by.

I have now brought it to pass,

and you have crushed fortified cities

into piles of rubble.

If only you had paid attention to my commands.

Then your peace would have been like a river,

and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

For I am the LORD your God

who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar —

his name is the LORD of Armies.

“Do you not fear me?

This is the LORD’s declaration.

Do you not tremble before me,

the one who set the sand as the boundary of the sea,

an enduring barrier that it cannot cross?

The waves surge, but they cannot prevail.

They roar but cannot pass over it.

I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble,

a jackals’ den.

I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,

an uninhabited place.

“This is what the LORD says:

The one who gives the sun for light by day,

the fixed order of moon and stars for light by night,

who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar —

the LORD of Armies is his name:

Babylon will become a heap of rubble,

a jackals’ den,

a desolation and an object of scorn,

without inhabitant.

The sea has risen over Babylon;

she is covered with its tumultuous waves.

For the LORD is going to devastate Babylon;

he will silence her mighty voice.

Their waves roar like a huge torrent;

the tumult of their voice resounds,

“therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against you, Tyre! I will raise up many nations against you, just as the sea raises its waves.

Since Gilead is full of evil,

they will certainly come to nothing.

They sacrifice bulls in Gilgal;

even their altars will be like piles of rocks

on the furrows of a field.

When you threw me into the depths,

into the heart of the seas,

the current[fn] overcame me.

All your breakers and your billows swept over me.

The LORD[fn] will pass through the sea of distress

and strike the waves of the sea;

all the depths of the Nile will dry up.

The pride of Assyria will be brought down,

and the scepter of Egypt will come to an end.
