¹⁴ “Take up your positions around Babylon,
    all you who draw the bow.^(A)
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,^(B)
    for she has sinned against the Lord.
¹⁵ Shout^(C) against her on every side!
    She surrenders, her towers fall,
    her walls^(D) are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance^(E) of the Lord,
    take vengeance on her;
    do to her^(F) as she has done to others.^(G)
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
    and the reaper with his sickle at harvest.
Because of the sword^(H) of the oppressor
    let everyone return to their own people,^(I)
    let everyone flee to their own land.^(J)
