I will send foreigners(A) to Babylon
    to winnow(B) her and to devastate her land;
they will oppose her on every side
    in the day(C) of her disaster.
Let not the archer string his bow,(D)
    nor let him put on his armor.(E)
Do not spare her young men;
    completely destroy[a] her army.
They will fall(F) down slain in Babylon,[b]
    fatally wounded in her streets.(G)
