14 “Take your positions for war against Babylon,
    all you soldiers with bows.
Shoot your arrows at Babylon! Do not save any of them,
    because Babylon has sinned against the Lord.
15 Soldiers around Babylon, shout the war cry!
    Babylon has surrendered, her towers have fallen,
    and her walls have been torn down.
The Lord is giving her people the punishment they deserve.
    You nations should give her what she deserves;
    do to her what she has done to others.
16 Don’t let the people from Babylon plant their crops
    or gather the harvest.
The soldiers treated their captives cruelly.
    Now, let everyone go back home.
    Let everyone run to his own country.
