² You who were full of noise,
You tumultuous town, you ^(A)jubilant city;
Your dead were ^(B)not killed with the sword,
Nor ^[a]did they die in battle.

³ So their slain will be ^(A)thrown out,
And their corpses ^[a]will give off their ^(B)stench,
And the mountains will ^[b]be drenched with their ^(C)blood.

¹⁶ For the Lord will execute judgment by ^(A)fire
And by His ^(B)sword on ^[a]humanity,
And those put to death by the Lord will be many.
