¹¹ “Go up to Gilead to get medicine,
    O virgin daughter of Egypt!
But your many treatments
    will bring you no healing.

¹³ There is no one to help you
    or to bind up your injury.
    No medicine can heal you.

²⁵ “The strength of Moab has ended.
    His arm has been broken,” says the Lord.

¹⁷ For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
    but the Lord takes care of the godly.

¹⁵ Break the arms of these wicked, evil people!
    Go after them until the last one is destroyed.

“Just like this, the great city Babylon
    will be thrown down with violence
    and will never be found again.

¹⁶ Your merchants have multiplied
    until they outnumber the stars.
But like a swarm of locusts,
    they strip the land and fly away.

⁸ But suddenly Babylon, too, has fallen.
    Weep for her.
Give her medicine.
    Perhaps she can yet be healed.
⁹ We would have helped her if we could,
    but nothing can save her now.
Let her go; abandon her.
    Return now to your own land.
For her punishment reaches to the heavens;
    it is so great it cannot be measured.
