15. Shout against her all around.She has submitted herself.Her bulwarks have fallen.Her walls have been thrown down,for it is the vengeance of the Lord.Take vengeance on her.As she has done, do to her.
16. Cut off the sower from Babylon,and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest.For fear of the oppressing sword,they will each return to their own people,and they will each flee to their own land.
17. “Israel is a hunted sheep.The lions have driven him away.First, the king of Assyria devoured him,and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
