⁹ And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!”
Then he answered and said,
^(A)“Babylon is fallen, is fallen!
And ^(B)all the carved images of her gods
He has broken to the ground.”

⁵ They are upright, like a palm tree,
And ^(A)they cannot speak;
They must be ^(B)carried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For ^(C)they cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”

⁴⁴ I will punish ^(A)Bel^[a] in Babylon,
And I will bring out of his mouth what he has swallowed;
And the nations shall not stream to him anymore.
Yes, ^(B)the wall of Babylon shall fall.
