LEB(i)
9 For look, I am going to stir up, and I am going to bring against Babylon a contingent of great nations from the land of the north. And they will draw up a battle formation against her, from there she will be captured. Their arrows are like a warrior who has achieved success, he does not return without success.
10 And Chaldea will be as booty, all those who plunder her will be satisfied," ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh.
11 "Though you rejoice, though you exult, O plunderers of my inheritance, though you frisk about like a heifer on the grass, and you neigh like the powerful stallions,
12 your mother will be very ashamed. She who gave birth to you will be humiliated.* Look, she will be the least of the nations, a desert,* dry land, and wilderness.*
13 Because of the anger of Yahweh she will not be inhabited, but she will be a wasteland, all of her. Everyone who passes by Babylon will be appalled and will hiss because of all her wounds.
14 Draw up a battle formation at Babylon all around, all those who bend the bow, shoot at her. You must not spare arrows,* for she has sinned against Yahweh.
15 Raise a war cry against her on all sides. ⌊She has surrendered⌋.* Her towers have fallen, her walls are ruined. For this is the vengeance of Yahweh. Take revenge on her. As she has done to others, so do to her.
