13     Because of My anger, no one will live there.
        She will be a desolate wasteland.
    All who pass by Babylon and see what I, the Eternal, have done
        will shudder and gasp at her many deep wounds.

14     (to Babylon’s enemies) Prepare for battle! Take your positions!
        Surround Babylon on every side, all you archers.
    Shoot at her! Show no mercy! Spare no arrows,
        for she has sinned against the Eternal.
15     Shout your battle cries on every side!
        She has already given up.
    Her towers have fallen, and her walls have crumbled.
        Since this is My vengeance, the justice of the Eternal,
    Do not hold back—take vengeance on her.
        Do to her what she has done to others.
