¹⁶ He made many stumble, ^(A)and they fell,
    and they said one to another,
‘Arise, and let us go back to our own people
    and to the land of our birth,
    ^(B)because of the sword of the oppressor.’

¹⁶ Cut off from Babylon the sower,
    and the one who handles the sickle in time of harvest;
^(A)because of the sword of the oppressor,
    ^(B)every one shall turn to his own people,
    and every one shall flee to his own land.
