I will send [a]strangers to Babylon that they may (A)winnow her
And may empty her land to destruction;
For on every side they will be against her
In the day of her calamity.
[b]Let not [c]him who [d](B)bends his bow [e]bend it,
[f]Nor let him rise up in his (C)scale-armor;
So do not spare her young men;
Devote all her army to destruction.
They will fall down [g]slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
And (D)pierced through in their streets.”
