13 Because of the wrath of the Lord she will (A)not be inhabited,
But she will be (B)completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon (C)will be horrified
And will hiss because of all her wounds.
14 Draw up your battle lines against Babylon on every side,
All of you who [a]bend the bow;
Shoot at her, do not spare your arrows,
For she has (D)sinned against the Lord.
15 Raise your battle cry against her on every side!
She has (E)given [b]herself up, her towers have fallen,
Her (F)walls have been torn down.
For this is the (G)vengeance of the Lord:
Take vengeance on her;
(H)As she has done to others, so do to her.
