12:3 But you, Lord, know all about me.
You watch me and test my devotion to you. 1
Drag these wicked men away like sheep to be slaughtered!
Appoint a time when they will be killed! 2
18:21 So let their children die of starvation.
Let them be cut down by the sword. 3
Let their wives lose their husbands and children.
Let the older men die of disease 4
and the younger men die by the sword in battle.
51:27 “Raise up battle flags throughout the lands.
Sound the trumpets calling the nations to do battle.
Prepare the nations to do battle against Babylonia. 5
Call for these kingdoms to attack her:
Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. 6
Appoint a commander to lead the attack. 7
Send horses 8 against her like a swarm of locusts. 9
