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.

14 “Take up your positions around Babylon,
    all you who draw the bow.(A)
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,(B)
    for she has sinned against the Lord.

    She surrenders, her towers fall,
    her walls(D) are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance(E) of the Lord,
    take vengeance on her;
    do to her(F) as she has done to others.(G)
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
    and the reaper with his sickle at harvest.
Because of the sword(H) of the oppressor
    let everyone return to their own people,(I)
    let everyone flee to their own land.(J)
