12. The city of Babylonwas like a mother to you.But it will be disgracedand become nothingbut a barren desert.
13. My anger will destroy Babylon,and no one will live there.Everyone who passes bywill be shocked to seewhat has happened.
14. Babylon has rebelled against me.Archers, take your places.Shoot all your arrows at Babylon.
15. Attack from every side!Babylon surrenders!The enemy tears downits walls and towers.I am taking my revengeby doing to Babylon what it didto other cities.
