⁹ Look, here comes a man in a chariot^(A)
    with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
    ‘Babylon^(B) has fallen,^(C) has fallen!
All the images of its gods^(D)
    lie shattered^(E) on the ground!’”

²⁰ Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered.
    Wail^(A) and cry out!
Announce by the Arnon^(B)
    that Moab is destroyed.

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’^[a](A)
    She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,^(B)
    a haunt for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.^(C)

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,^(C)
    where all who had ships on the sea
    became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’^(D)
