13 “Because of the indignation of the Lord she will (A)not be inhabited,
But she will be (B)completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon (C)will be horrified
And will hiss because of all her wounds.
14 “Draw up your battle lines against Babylon on every side,
All you who [a]bend the bow;
Shoot at her, do not be sparing with your arrows,
For she has (D)sinned against the Lord.
15 “Raise your battle cry against her on every side!
She has (E)given [b]herself up, her pillars have fallen,
Her (F)walls have been torn down.
For this is the (G)vengeance of the Lord:
Take vengeance on her;
(H)As she has done to others, so do to her.
