¹¹ The king of Babylon will come riding through your city. His horses’ hoofs^[a] will come pounding over your streets. He will kill your people with swords. The strong columns in your city will fall to the ground. ¹² Nebuchadnezzar’s men will take away your riches. They will take the things you wanted to sell. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. They will throw the wood and stones into the sea like garbage. ¹³ So I will stop the sound of your happy songs. People will not hear your harps anymore.
