“Hãy loan báo và công bố cho các nước, Hãy giương cờ và công bố, Đừng giấu gì cả; hãy nói: ‘Ba-by-lôn đã thất thủ, Thần Bên hổ thẹn, Thần Mê-rô-đác kinh hãi, Hình tượng nó xấu hổ, Tượng thần nó bị đập tan!’

Just as Babylon's idols were proven powerless, we can apply this to trusting in our own strength or possessions instead of God. For example, believing that money will protect us instead of God's guidance.
