13 (D)O you who dwell by many waters,
rich in treasures,
your end has come;
the thread of your life is cut.

Surely I will fill you with men, (F)as many as locusts,
(G)and they shall raise the shout of victory over you.

13 You who live by many waters(E)
and are rich in treasures,(F)
your end has come,
the time for you to be destroyed.(G)

12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
