² “Announce and proclaim^(A) among the nations,
    lift up a banner^(B) and proclaim it;
    keep nothing back, but say,
‘Babylon will be captured;^(C)
    Bel^(D) will be put to shame,^(E)
    Marduk^(F) filled with terror.
Her images will be put to shame
    and her idols^(G) filled with terror.’

⁷ All her idols^(A) will be broken to pieces;^(B)
    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
    I will destroy all her images.^(C)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,^(D)
    as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”
