⁶ And ^(A)Elam bore the quiver
    with chariots and horsemen,
    and ^(B)Kir uncovered the shield.

⁵⁶ for a destroyer has come upon her,
    upon Babylon;
her warriors are taken;
    their bows are broken in pieces,
^(A)for the Lord is a God of recompense;
    he will surely repay.

^9 (A)He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he ^(B)breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    ^(C)he burns the chariots with fire.

^14 (A)Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
    ^(B)all you who bend the bow;
shoot at her, spare no arrows,
    ^(C)for she has sinned against the Lord.
