⁴⁴ I will punish Bel^(A) in Babylon
    and make him spew out^(B) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
    And the wall^(C) of Babylon will fall.

“Babylon’s thick wall^(A) will be leveled
    and her high gates^(B) set on fire;
the peoples^(C) exhaust^(D) themselves for nothing,
    the nations’ labor is only fuel for the flames.”^(E)
