14 (A)Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
    (B)all you who bend the bow;
shoot at her, spare no arrows,
    (C)for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 (D)Raise a shout against her all around;
    she has surrendered;
her bulwarks have fallen;
    (E)her walls are thrown down.
For (F)this is the vengeance of the Lord:
    take vengeance on her;
    (G)do to her as she has done.
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
    and the one who handles the sickle in time of harvest;
(H)because of the sword of the oppressor,
    (I)every one shall turn to his own people,
    and every one shall flee to his own land.

shoot at her; spare no arrows,

    do to her as she has done.(B)

    and all of them shall flee to their own land.(C)
