Smiting peoples in passion With stroke unremitting, - Trampling, in anger, on nations, Persecution unhindered.

And it shall come to pass, - that, every stroke of the staff of doom which Yahweh shall lay upon him, shall be with timbrels and with lyres, - when, with battles of brandished weapons, he hath fought against them.

Assemble yourselves - all of you and hear, Who among them, hath told these things? he whom Yahweh loveth, will execute - His pleasure, on Babylon, And his stroke on the Chaldeans.

By constraint and by sentence, was he taken away, And of his age, who considered That he was cut off out of the land of the living, For my peoples transgression, did the stroke fall on him?
