47 Therefore behold, days are coming
When I will punish the (A)idols of Babylon;
And her whole land will be (B)put to shame.
And all her slain will fall in her midst.
48 Then (C)heaven and earth and everything that is in them
Will shout for joy over Babylon,
Because (D)the destroyers will come to her from the north,”
Declares the Lord.

As (F)the slain of all the earth have also fallen for Babylon.
