(A)Let not the archer bend his bow,
    and let him not stand up in his armor.
Spare not her young men;
    (B)devote to destruction[a] all her army.
They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
    (C)and wounded in her streets.
(D)For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
    by their God, the Lord of hosts,
but the land of the Chaldeans[b] is full of guilt
    against the Holy One of Israel.
