¹² Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon!
    Make the watch strong!
Set the watchmen,
    and prepare the ambushes;
for Yahweh has both purposed and done
    that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
¹³ You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures,
    your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
¹⁴ Yahweh of Armies has sworn by himself, saying,
    ‘Surely I will fill you with men,
    as with the canker worm;
    and they will lift up a shout against you.’
