    an alliance of great nations(B) from the land of the north.(C)
They will take up their positions against her,
    and from the north she will be captured.(D)
Their arrows(E) will be like skilled warriors
    who do not return empty-handed.

From there she shall be captured.
Their arrows shall be like those of [a]an expert warrior;
(B)None shall return in vain.
