41 “How [a](A)Sheshak has been captured,
And (B)the praise of the whole earth has been seized!
How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations!
42 The [b](C)sea has come up over Babylon;
She has been engulfed by its roaring waves.
43 Her cities have become an (D)object of horror,
A dry land and a desert,
A land in which (E)no one lives
And through which no [c]one of mankind passes.
