³ “For ^(A)out of the north a nation has come up against her, ^(B)which shall make her land a desolation, and none shall dwell in it; ^(C)both man and beast shall flee away.

⁹ For behold, I am stirring up and bringing against Babylon ^(A)a gathering of great nations, from the north country. And they shall array themselves against her. From there she shall be taken. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
