14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
    all you who bend the bow;
    shoot at her.
Spare no arrows;
    for she has sinned against Yahweh.
15 Shout against her all around.
    She has submitted herself.
    Her bulwarks have fallen.
Her walls have been thrown down,
    for it is the vengeance of Yahweh.
Take vengeance on her.
    As she has done, do to her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon,
    and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest.
For fear of the oppressing sword,
    they will each return to their own people,
    and they will each flee to their own land.

14 “Put(A) yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
All you who bend the bow;
Shoot at her, spare no arrows,
For she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Shout against her all around;
She has (B)given her hand,
Her foundations have fallen,
(C)Her walls are thrown down;
For (D)it is the vengeance of the Lord.
Take vengeance on her.
As she has done, so do to her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon,
And him who handles the sickle at harvest time.
For fear of the oppressing sword
(E)Everyone shall turn to his own people,
And everyone shall flee to his own land.
