⁴² They lay hold of bow and spear;
    they are cruel and have no mercy.
The sound of them is like the roaring of the sea;
    they ride on horses,
arrayed as a man for battle
    against you, O daughter of Babylon!

³³ For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
^(A)The daughter of Babylon is like ^(B)a threshing floor
    at the time when it is trodden;
yet a little while
    and ^(C)the time of her harvest will come.”
