21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim,[a]
    and against the inhabitants of Pekod.[b]
Kill, (A)and devote them to destruction,[c]
declares the Lord,
    and do all that I have commanded you.
22 (B)The noise of battle is in the land,
    and great destruction!
23 (C)How the hammer of the whole earth
    is cut down and broken!
(D)How Babylon (E)has become
    a horror among the nations!
