12 Your (A)mother [a]will be greatly ashamed,
She who gave you birth [b]will be humiliated.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
A (B)wilderness, a dry land and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord she will (C)not be inhabited,
But she will be (D)completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon (E)will be horrified
And will hiss because of all her wounds.
14 Draw up your battle lines against Babylon on every side,
All of you who [c]bend the bow;
Shoot at her, do not spare your arrows,
For she has (F)sinned against the Lord.
