41 “How (A)Babylon[a] is taken,
    (B)the praise of the whole earth (C)seized!
How Babylon has become
    a horror among the nations!
42 (D)The sea has come up on Babylon;
    she is covered with its tumultuous waves.
43 Her cities have become a horror,
    (E)a land of drought and a desert,
(F)a land in which no one dwells,
    and through which no son of man passes.
