You thought you were so important and now look at you!
This sums up this chapter rather well. God is saying that Babylon will fall just like those who have gone before. There is a humility to this chapter when we realize that whatever we do will one day come to nothing in this world. Yes, even if something we create lasts everything around it will eventually be forgotten. We live in a world where it seems everything is recorded and backed up but even with all these updates they will eventually be forgotten.
The one hope we have is when we are in Christ, something not mentioned in this chapter, we have a hope that God remembers and that what we have done for him will endure.
This is the tension in life, humility, because all will fail, and hope, because what is done in Christ will endure.
