    will shout for joy about Babylon.
They will shout because the army comes from the north [C Persia and its allies]

    ·She killed people from everywhere on [L …and the corpses of all the] earth.

    Remember the Lord in the faraway land
and ·think about Jerusalem [L let Jerusalem come up in your heart/mind].”
