12 (A)Lift up a signal flag against the walls of Babylon;
Post a strong guard,
Station [a]sentries,
Set up an ambush!
For the Lord has both (B)planned and performed
What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 You who (C)live by many waters,
Abundant in (D)treasures,
Your end has come,
The [b]measure of your [c](E)end.
14 The (F)Lord of armies has sworn by Himself:
“I will certainly fill you with a [d]population like (G)locusts,
And they will cry out with shouts of victory over you.”
