12 The nations have heard of your (A)shame,
And the earth is full of your (B)cry of distress;
For one (C)warrior has stumbled over [a]another,
And both of them have fallen down together.

Proclaim also in Memphis and (G)Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,
For the (H)sword has devoured those around you.’
