15 Shout(A) against her on every side!
    She surrenders, her towers fall,
    her walls(B) are torn down.

    let everyone return to their own people,(G)
    let everyone flee to their own land.(H)

    was the king(L) of Assyria;
the last to crush their bones(M)
    was Nebuchadnezzar(N) king(O) of Babylon.”
