28 Set apart the nations against her,
The kings of the Medes,
[a]Their governors and all [b]their [c]prefects
And every land of [d]their rule.

For the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand,
To make the land of Babylon
[e]A (B)desolation without inhabitants.

They inhabit the strongholds;
(D)Their might is dried up;
They are becoming (E)like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire;
The (F)bars of her gates are broken.
