41 “How (A)Babylon[a] is taken,
    (B)the praise of the whole earth (C)seized!
How Babylon has become
    a horror among the nations!
42 (D)The sea has come up on Babylon;
    she is covered with its tumultuous waves.
43 Her cities have become a horror,
    (E)a land of drought and a desert,
(F)a land in which no one dwells,
    and through which no son of man passes.
44 And I will punish (G)Bel in Babylon,
    and (H)take out of his mouth (I)what he has swallowed.
(J)The nations shall no longer flow to him;
    (K)the wall of Babylon has fallen.
