“Until ^(B)cities are devastated and without inhabitant,
Houses are without people,
And the land is devastated to desolation,

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

¹⁰ The ^(A)city of chaos is broken down;
^(B)Every house is shut up so that none may enter.

¹² Desolation remains in the city,
And the ^(A)gate is struck down to ruins.
