Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare not your arrows,

Summon many against Babylon, everyone that bends the bow. Camp against her round about; let none of her [people] escape. Render to her according to her works, according to all that she has done, do to her; for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel.

For distress has come upon Babylon, her warriors are taken, their bows are useless; for God recompenses them.

Putting an end to wars as to the ends of the earth; He will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.

And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.
