¹² your mother will be utterly disappointed.
    She who bore you will be confounded.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
    a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
¹³ Because of Yahweh’s wrath she won’t be inhabited,
    but she will be wholly desolate.
Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished,
    and hiss at all her plagues.
¹⁴ Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
    all you who bend the bow;
    shoot at her.
Spare no arrows;
    for she has sinned against Yahweh.
