Bring a drought on its land and dry up its rivers. Babylonia is a land of terrifying idols that have made fools of the people.

With a word of command I dry up the ocean.

The Babylonian soldiers have stopped fighting and remain in their forts. They have lost their courage and have become helpless. The city gates are broken down, and the houses are on fire.

Destroy its horses and chariots! Death to its hired soldiers--- how weak they are! Destroy its treasures; plunder and loot.
