23 The Babylonians,
All the Chaldeans,
^aPekod, Shoa, Koa,
^bAll the Assyrians with them,
All of them desirable young men,
Governors and rulers,
Captains and men of renown,
All of them riding on horses. ‡

24 And they shall come against you
With chariots, wagons, and war-horses,
With a horde of people.
They shall array against you
Buckler, shield, and helmet all around.
‘I will delegate judgment to them,
And they shall judge you according to their judgments.

26 ^aThey shall also strip you of your clothes
And take away your beautiful jewelry. ‡

27 ‘Thus ^aI will make you cease your lewdness and your ^bharlotry
Brought from the land of Egypt,
So that you will not lift your eyes to them,
Nor remember Egypt anymore.’  ‡
