⁹ Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs.”
And one said, “^(A)Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
And all the ^(B)images of her gods ^[a]are shattered on the ground.”

46 ^(A)Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over;
Their idols have become loads for the animals and the cattle.
The things ^[a]that you carry are burdensome,
A load for the weary animal.
² They stooped over, they have bowed down together;
They could not rescue the burden,
But ^[b]have themselves ^(B)gone into captivity.

² “^(A)Declare and proclaim among the nations.
Proclaim it and ^(B)lift up a flag,
Do not conceal it. Say,
‘^(C)Babylon has been captured,
^(D)Bel has been put to shame, ^[a]Marduk has been ^[b]shattered;
Her ^(E)idols have been put to shame, her images have been shattered.’
