42 aThey shall hold the bow and the lance;
bThey are cruel and shall not show mercy.
cTheir voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
bThey are cruel and shall not show mercy.

They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 “The king of Babylon has aheard the report about them,
And his hands grow feeble;
Anguish has taken hold of him,
Pangs as of a woman in bchildbirth.
And his hands grow feeble;
Anguish has taken hold of him,
Pangs as of a woman in bchildbirth.
44 “Behold,a he shall come up like a lion from the1 floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will make them suddenly run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And bwho is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”

45 Therefore hear athe counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Babylon,
And His bpurposes that He has proposed against the land of the Chaldeans:
cSurely the least of the flock shall draw them out;
Surely He will make their dwelling place desolate with them.
