⁷ When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,
    riders on donkeys, riders on camels,
let him listen diligently,
    very diligently.”

⁹ And behold, here come riders,
    horsemen in pairs!”
^(A)And he answered,
    ^(B)“Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
^(C)and all the carved images of her gods

²⁴ By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
    and you have said, ^(A)With my many chariots

^(B)to cut down its tallest cedars,
    its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
    its most fruitful forest.
