14 Arrange your battle lines against Babylon on every side,
All you who [a]bend the bow;
Shoot at her, do not be sparing with your arrows,
For she has (A)sinned against Yahweh.
15 Raise a loud shout against her on every side!
She has (B)given [b]herself up, her pillars have fallen,
Her (C)walls have been pulled down.
For this is the (D)vengeance of Yahweh:
Take vengeance on her;
(E)As she has done to others, so do to her.
16 Cut off the (F)sower from Babylon
And the one who seizes the sickle at the time of harvest;
From before [c]the (G)sword of the oppressor
(H)They will each turn back to his own people,
And they will each flee to his own land.
