“Babylon’s thick wall^(A) will be leveled
    and her high gates^(B) set on fire;
the peoples^(C) exhaust^(D) themselves for nothing,
    the nations’ labor is only fuel for the flames.”^(E)

¹² He will bring down your high fortified walls^(A)
    and lay them low;^(B)
he will bring them down to the ground,
    to the very dust.

¹⁵ Shout^(A) against her on every side!
    She surrenders, her towers fall,
    her walls^(B) are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance^(C) of the Lord,
    take vengeance on her;
    do to her^(D) as she has done to others.^(E)
