Verse 10
Babylon felt secure in mistreating people because her great learning and wisdom in the magical arts had led her to conclude that she was superior and invulnerable. Knowledge puffs up, and one of the delusions it spawns is that people who know more are as morally and ethically responsible as everyone else, since they are not. A corollary is that if I can get away with something, it’s all right. Such thinking forgets that there is a sovereign and righteous God in heaven to whom we are responsible.
"Chaldean Babylon . . . combined the practical atheism of the freethinker with astrology, necromancy, and crass superstition." [Note: Archer, p. 642.]
