46. And you, Asia, that are partaker in the beauty of Babylon, and in the glory of her person:
47. woe to you, you wretch, because you have made yourself like to her; you have decked your daughters in whoredom, that they might please and glory in your lovers, which have always desired you to commit whoredom withal!
48. You have followed her that is hateful in all her works and inventions: therefore says God,
49. I will send evils upon you; widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and pestilence, to waste your houses to destruction and death.
50. And the glory of your power shall be dried up as a flower, when the heat shall arise that is sent over you.
51. You shall be weakened as a poor woman with stripes, and as one chastened with wounds, so that your mighty ones and your lovers you shall not be able to receive.

54. Set forth the beauty of your countenance?
55. The reward of a harlot shall be in your bosom, therefore shall you receive recompense.
56. Like as you shall do to my chosen, says the Lord, even so shall God do to you, and shall deliver you into mischief.
57. And your children shall die of hunger, and you shall fall by the sword: and your cities shall be broken down, and all your shall perish by the sword in the field.
58. And they that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, for very hunger of bread, and thirst of water.
59. You unhappy above all shall come and shall again receive evils.
60. And in the passage they shall rush on the idle city, and shall destroy some portion of your land, and mar part of your glory, and shall return again to Babylon that was destroyed.
61. And you shall be cast down by them as stubble, and they shall be to you as fire;
