13. No one will live in Babylon because of the Lord’s anger.It will be completely abandoned.Everyone who passes by Babylon will be horrifiedand hiss at all its wounds.
14. “Take up your positions around Babylon, all you archers with bows.Shoot at it; don’t save any arrows,because the people of Babylon have sinned against the Lord.
15. Shout a war cry against them on every side.They’ll surrender.Their towers will fall and their walls will be torn down.Since this is the Lord’s vengeance, take revenge against them.Do to them what they did to others.
