13:19 Babylon, the most admired 1 of kingdoms,
the Chaldeans’ source of honor and pride, 2
will be destroyed by God
just as Sodom and Gomorrah were. 3
11:31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (the son of Haran), and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and with them he set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. When they came to Haran, they settled there.
1:17 While this one was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “The Chaldeans 6 formed three bands and made a raid 7 on the camels and carried them all away, and they killed the servants with the sword! 8 And I – only I alone – escaped to tell you!”
1:6 Look, I am about to empower 9 the Babylonians,
that ruthless 10 and greedy 11 nation.
They sweep across the surface 12 of the earth,
seizing dwelling places that do not belong to them.
