And I have sent to Babylon fanners, And they have fanned it, and they empty its land, For they have been against it, Round about in the day of evil.

A golden cup [is] Babylon in the hand of Jehovah, Making drunk all the earth, Of its wine drunk have nations, Therefore boast themselves do nations.

Cleanse ye the arrows, fill the shields, Stirred up hath Jehovah the spirit of the kings of Madia, For against Babylon His device [is] to destroy it, For the vengeance of Jehovah it [is], The vengeance of His temple.

The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,
