Chris.
The Lord said that Babylon was to sit in silence and darkness. This was a part of His Judgment on Babylon. It was probably one of the busiest, most idolatrous and immoral Cities in the entire World at the time Isaiah was written. We can see from this passage that when a city is given over to blatant sin it is in danger of the Lord's Judgment.
