³⁰ In that day^(A) they will roar over it
    like the roaring of the sea.^(B)
And if one looks at the land,
    there is only darkness^(C) and distress;^(D)
    even the sun will be darkened^(E) by clouds.

⁴² They are armed with bows^(A) and spears;
    they are cruel^(B) and without mercy.^(C)
They sound like the roaring sea^(D)
    as they ride on their horses;
they come like men in battle formation
    to attack you, Daughter Babylon.^(E)

¹¹ But now many nations
    are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,
    let our eyes gloat^(A) over Zion!”
