10 (A)Chaldea shall be plundered; all who plunder her shall be sated, declares the Lord.

11 (B)“Though you rejoice, though you exult,
    O plunderers of my heritage,
though you frolic like a heifer in the pasture,
    and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother shall be utterly shamed,
    and she who bore you shall be disgraced.
Behold, she shall be the last of the nations,
    (C)a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 (D)Because of the wrath of the Lord she shall not be inhabited
    but shall be an utter desolation;
(E)everyone who passes by Babylon shall be appalled,
    (F)and hiss because of all her wounds.
14 (G)Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
    (H)all you who bend the bow;
shoot at her, spare no arrows,
    (I)for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 (J)Raise a shout against her all around;
    she has surrendered;
her bulwarks have fallen;
    (K)her walls are thrown down.
For (L)this is the vengeance of the Lord:
    take vengeance on her;
    (M)do to her as she has done.
