Let the

“Draw up your battle lines against Babylon on every side,
All you who bend the bow;
Shoot at her, do not be sparing with your arrows,
For she has sinned against the Lord.

Brigandine

“Harness the horses,
And mount the steeds,
And take your stand with helmets on!

Polish the spears,

Put on the scale-armor!

Spare

For death has come up through our windows;
It has entered our palaces
To cut off the children from the streets,
The young men from the town squares.

Put all her young bulls to the sword;

Let them go down to the slaughter!
Woe be upon them, for their day has come,
The time of their punishment.

‘Outside the sword will bereave,
And inside terror—

Both young man and virgin,

The nursling with the man of gray hair.

How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones
Against the rock.

For the stars of heaven and their constellations
Will not flash forth their light;
The sun will be dark when it rises
And the moon will not shed its light.

For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

Destroy

“Against the land of Merathaim, go up against it,
And against the inhabitants of

Pekod.

Slay and utterly destroy them,” declares the Lord,
“And do according to all that I have commanded you.

“Therefore, her young men will fall in her streets,
And all the men of war will be silenced in that day,” declares the Lord of hosts.
