23 How the (A)hammer of the whole earth
Has been cut in pieces and broken!
How Babylon has become
An object of horror among the nations!
24 I (B)set a snare for you, and you were also (C)caught, O Babylon,
But you yourself did not know;
You have been found and also seized
Because you have engaged in (D)conflict with Yahweh.”

And has brought forth the (E)weapons of His indignation,
For it is a (F)work of Lord Yahweh of hosts
In the land of the Chaldeans.
