A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

Notes

Chaldea was located in what is now modern-day Iraq. It is a bit difficult to distinguish from Babylon. In fact, for a time, Chaldea ruled over Babylon. The Chaldeans who came to rule over Babylon, were, in fact immigrants from the west; modern Syria and Jordan, rather than a native tribe that rose to power.
