15 Shout against her all around;
She has (A)given her hand,
Her foundations have fallen,
(B)Her walls are thrown down;
For (C)it is the vengeance of the Lord.
Take vengeance on her.
As she has done, so do to her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon,
And him who handles the sickle at harvest time.
For fear of the oppressing sword
(D)Everyone shall turn to his own people,
And everyone shall flee to his own land.

17 “Israel is like (E)scattered sheep;
(F)The lions have driven him away.
First (G)the king of Assyria devoured him;
Now at last this (H)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
