“Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!”
Woe to him who builds a town with blood and founds a city on iniquity!—the fourth woe condemns the imperial city-building that constitutes Babylon's civilization. Every foundation-stone laid in conquest, every structure completed through oppression, represents covenant-violation and moral failure. The vision of cities founded on iniquity invokes the contrast with the true city of God, founded on righteousness.
