Concise Bible Dictionary
:
“The golden city ceased,”
Isaiah 14:4
4
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! (Isaiah 14:4)
is better translated, as in the margin, “the exactress of
gold
ceased!”
Babylon
, which had heaped up gold by its conquests, was overcome.
