⁹ Look, here comes a man in a chariot^(A)
    with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
    ‘Babylon^(B) has fallen,^(C) has fallen!
All the images of its gods^(D)
    lie shattered^(E) on the ground!’”

⁸ Babylon will suddenly fall^(A) and be broken.
    Wail over her!
Get balm^(B) for her pain;
    perhaps she can be healed.
