# Babylon will sink like this
The stone and scroll will disappear in the water, the water will destroy the scroll, and Babylon will no longer look like a city or have buildings for people to live in. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
# will not arise
"will never again be a city"
# they will fall
This means the Babylonians will fall because they are exhausted. Many translations do not include these words.
